The Stop Workplace Drama programs evolved as a training program for managers who needed to learn how to manage themselves and others in the midst of rapid change. The program is based on the belief that no man is fit to master another who cannot master himself. (William Penn.) After completing a masters degree in the study of Human Resources Development Marlene founded StopWorkPlaceDrama.com. The Stop Your Drama programs are based on universal principles of personal responsibility, conscious choice, character, and aligns with the universal laws, including the law of attraction. Marlene’s extensive research revealed what she already knew from over 20 years experience in the factory: Workplace drama hampers productivity and negatively effects the bottom line. Stop Your Drama Tips are short monthly tips to help increase emotional intelligence, relieve stress and make conscious responsible choices at home and at work.
