Break the Drama Triangle Before It Breaks Your Business with Matthew Riven

October 28, 20251 min read

A podcast with She is a Leader and Yvonne Heimann

This conversation with Yvonne goes straight into one of the biggest hidden drains in business: unclear communication and the drama triangles that form when people slip into rescuing, blaming, or feeling powerless. We talked about how childhood patterns show up in team dynamics, why “Yes, but…” conversations exhaust everyone, and how vague language creates confusion that can derail even the smartest strategies.

In the conversation, I brought in tools from Transactional Analysis, somatic coaching, and power-dynamics work to help explain why teams get stuck in the same communication loops. Instead of treating the surface issues, we focused on shifting the deeper scripts driving them.

If you want a clearer, calmer, more productive business environment, this episode offers simple shifts that make communication impossible to misunderstand.
