From personal relationships to professional environments and even in legislative halls, the ability to engage constructively in conflict can lead to breakthroughs instead of breakdowns. Join Joel Salinas and Robert Bordone, co-authors of the new book Conflict Resilience: Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In, for a revolutionary webinar that redefines conflict engagement and introduces the concept of Conflict Resilience. This webinar will explore the innovative idea of embracing conflict to foster connection rather than division. Conflict Resilience is not just a skill but a necessary leadership trait that involves sitting comfortably with discomfort, listening deeply, and asserting oneself authentically. By enhancing our capacity to manage conflict, we can approach even the most challenging disagreements in ways that build trust, prevent dehumanization, and pave the path to mutual understanding.
