From Drama to Empowerment: Transforming Relationships with the Winner’s Triangle
Emma McNally
2026 Conference
Too often, we find ourselves caught in unproductive and emotionally draining interactions—stuck in the Drama Triangle, playing the roles of Victim, Persecutor, or Rescuer. These unconscious patterns can create conflict, limit personal growth, and negatively impact relationships, both personally and professionally.
In this engaging and interactive session, you’ll uncover the psychology behind the Drama Triangle, recognise the roles people play, and learn how to break free from these dysfunctional dynamics. You’ll then explore the Winner’s Triangle, a powerful alternative that fosters empowerment, responsibility, and collaboration.
By the end of this session, you will:
Identify the key roles within the Drama Triangle and understand their impact on relationships.
Recognise how these unconscious patterns manifest in both personal and professional settings.
Learn the Winner’s Triangle framework and how to shift from conflict-driven interactions to healthier communication.
Develop practical strategies to empower yourself and others, fostering resilience and emotional intelligence.
Apply these insights to create more successful, constructive relationships—whether for personal growth or in guiding clients.
If you’re ready to move beyond drama and cultivate more meaningful, balanced interactions, this session will equip you with the tools to make that shift and help you guide your clients to do the same.
