Conflict is usually treated as something to avoid, suppress, or shut down as quickly as possible. This session offers a different frame: conflict is data. Every conflict is carrying information, about an unmet need, a nervous system in protection mode, or two people operating from different lived experiences of what’s “normal” or safe. When we react to conflict as pure disruption, we lose that information. When we read it as data instead, we can actually respond to what’s happening instead of just reacting to it. We’ll also look at how conflict builds, from a first spark to full escalation, so participants can recognize the early signals and interrupt the pattern before it ruptures.

Session will run from 10am-12pm PT via Zoom
