Workplace drama — the gossip, the passive-aggressive emails, the same conflict resurfacing meeting after meeting — doesn't just feel exhausting. It quietly erodes trust, slows decisions, and drains the energy we and our teams need for real work. In this interactive session, ICF-certified executive coach and former Fortune 500 operations leader Jessica Garcia Dudek will help you diagnose the root patterns behind workplace drama and give you practical, field-tested tools to interrupt it. Jessica will share 2 simple frameworks for spotting drama triggers, having the direct conversations most leaders avoid, and building a team culture rooted in candor and trust instead of tension and triangulation. Attendees will leave with a practical toolkit they can apply the moment they're out of the webinar.

Jessica Garcia Dudek is a seasoned business operations leader with 15+ years of expertise in business operations, program management and leadership development. With a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington, she brings a rare blend of technical fluency and people-centered leadership to her work advising senior leaders at high-tech and manufacturing companies.

Jessica is deeply committed to advancing women in traditionally male-dominated fields. For the past three years, she has delivered a Women's Leadership Development program tailored to the manufacturing community, equipping women with the tools and confidence to lead and grow in their careers. As Principal of Vela Coaching and Consulting, she has coached 150+ leaders (4.8/5.0 client satisfaction), empowering women to break barriers and lead with impact.
