How do you react to conflict?
Even that simple question can provoke a variety of emotions and responses. Some people look forward to engaging in heated debate, while others walk away or acquiesce to avoid even a hint of discord.
No matter how you feel about it, though, it’s guaranteed that you will inevitably run into disagreements in your workplace–and in all areas of life!

Tune in to learn:
- A neutral definition of conflict
- Five steps to navigate conflict and preserve relationships
