309: The 5 Fight Languages: Which one are you? - Lena Morgan

Conflict is not inherently bad. Let's do it better.

Conflict is prolific, but in truth, conflict isn't bad, it's simply an exchange of information. Of course, sometimes we "exchange" in harmful ways, but ideally conflict is inherently neutral. 

 

Lena Morgan is sharing how understanding the 5 Fight Languages can make conflict more productive for everyone involved, and leave each party feeling more understood.
