December 17: From Strife to Synergy: How Conflict Can Strengthen Connection 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET Conflict is a part of every relationship—whether at work or at home—but it doesn’t have to derail collaboration or connection. In this workshop, participants will learn how to turn moments of tension into opportunities for stronger trust, deeper understanding, and lasting resilience. Through practical tools like active listening, empathy, and reframing vulnerability, I’ll demonstrate how to move beyond the discomfort of disagreement to create healthier communication and more meaningful connections. Whether you’re navigating challenges with colleagues, family members, or a romantic partner, this workshop will equip you to transform conflict into a bridge, not a barrier, and build more unified, connected relationships that enhance both performance and well-being.
