In this episode, Kamini Wood challenges the common perception of conflict, reframing it from a problem to an opportunity for growth and connection. She acknowledges that most people experience tension or dread when facing conflict due to past negative experiences, leading to conflict avoidance. However, avoiding conflict also means missing opportunities for authenticity and deeper connection, often resulting in resentment, stress, and superficial relationships. Kamini suggests shifting from judgment to curiosity, using "I statements" instead of "you statements," actively listening, and taking breaks to regulate emotions. She provides a workplace example of addressing missed deadlines with compassion and directness, leading to solutions rather than resentment. Ultimately, navigating conflict with kindness builds emotional safety, mutual respect, empathy, emotional intelligence, confidence, and self-esteem, fostering deeper connections.
