Overview
- Conflict happens when “I want something, and you want something different”. Often this can feel like an impass that leads to judgement, frustration and feeling stuck. Becoming aware of our own role in conflicts – our approach, beliefs and behaviors – is a key step in becoming unstuck. This can unleash the positive energy and possibility within conflicts to create important change – together.
- In this webinar, we’ll take a closer look at different perspectives of Conflict, our default styles in approaching it, and learn some practical tools to leverage as leaders to effectively unlock their transformative power.
