How do you lead others and remain resilient through times of unprecedented change? How do you manage others and avoid burnout through extreme circumstances like those we’ve seen during the pandemic? Those are just some of the questions we've all been asking ourselves for the last two years. How do we continue to lead others, when our previous leadership roadmap no longer applies as we face new normal ways of operating and doing business?

Conflict is often unavoidable. Your influence as a leader depends on your ability to harness that resistance as an agent for growth. The best narratives use conflict as a device to provide purpose, test characters, and drive their development. In that same spirit, our workshop empowers you to utilize conflict to create your own success stories.
Join us and participate in a highly interactive atmosphere as you explore techniques and practices to navigate difficult conversations. Share a wealth of experience as you engage with other leaders from our local community in honing your conflict management skills to boost morale, build credibility, and ultimately increase your influence.
