Mastering Change with Effective Conflict Skills

Are you a superstar, an accommodator, or a separator?


In today's episode, CrisMarie Campbell and Susan Clarke, drawing from their 20 years of experience, share transformative strategies that serve as a guide through uncertainty and tension with grace and productivity. 


They outline the three states of change and tackle different conflict resolution styles for when conflicts arise, emphasizing the importance of embracing our vulnerabilities to thrive in uncertainty. Susan and CrisMarie offer insights into how reverting to old strategies during times of change can hamper a team or company's IQ, and they introduce the Conflict Compass as a tool to understand one’s conflict behaviors. From the importance of storytelling for human connection to embracing behavioral changes that shift a person from reactive to responsive, CrisMarie and Susan cover the multifaceted process of handling change proactively. 


Get ready to empower yourself and your teams to face change head-on, understand the negative consequences of stagnation, and dive into the Beauty of Conflict journey.
