Episode 289: Conflict as a Catalyst for Growth

What if every workplace conflict could become a growth opportunity instead of a costly battle?💡 In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary sits down with Ursula Taylor, a conflict resolution strategist with 17 years of experience as an attorney and business advisor. After years in litigation, Ursula saw how traditional legal systems often amplify disputes instead of solving them. Now, through her firm Conflict Reimagined, she helps leaders and teams resolve disputes efficiently and humanely—by addressing the real drivers behind conflict: fear, emotion, and miscommunication. Ursula shares how emotional intelligence, awareness, and honest dialogue can prevent lawsuits, protect relationships, and create stronger businesses. ➡️ Key Takeaways:→ Litigation is expensive, uncertain, and emotionally draining—most disputes stem from human emotion, not legal facts.→ True resolution begins by identifying what you really need instead of focusing on being right or wrong.→ Leaders can prevent conflicts by creating safe spaces for communication before issues escalate.→ Emotional intelligence and self-awareness are critical tools for business growth and team cohesion.→ The future of leadership lies in embracing what Ursula calls “the human age,” where emotional work meets strategy. 💬 Quote from Ursula:“Every dispute is driven by human emotion. When you can face that honestly, conflict becomes a beautiful opportunity to grow stronger as a leader.” 📞 Call to Action:Learn more about Ursula’s work:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ursula-taylor-b0ba4729/ Learn more about your ad choices.
