Learn through story. Lead through conflict.
Most workplace conflict learning relies on presentations and bullet points, and focuses only on checklists for resolving today's conflict.
Direct Your Own Movie takes a different approach.
Participants follow Chloé's journey as she navigates one of the most challenging periods of her professional life. Rather than simply talking about workplace conflict, they experience it as the story unfolds, pause at key moments to discuss what is happening, and explore together the best solutions and how they might be used immediately in the workplace. Alongside Chloé, participants learn to lead through conflict.

Workshop format
Adults rarely learn lasting communication skills by reading bullet points alone. Stories create context, allowing us to experience uncertainty, emotion, misunderstanding and growth in ways that are memorable and immediately relatable.
By following Chloé's journey, participants don't simply learn about conflict—they experience it before exploring practical ways of responding differently. The result is an engaging workshop designed to support lasting behavioral change.

My approach
Conflict doesn't need to be feared or avoided. When people develop the confidence and skills to
communicate through disagreement constructively, conflict becomes an opportunity for learning,
stronger relationships, and healthier workplaces.
Direct Your Own Movie isn't designed to eliminate conflict but rather to address conflict early before it reaches the point where formal intervention becomes necessary, help transform participant's approach to conflict, and encourage leadership growth by embracing conflict as a chance for discovery.
