Words, Conflict and Safe Communication
(2:15pm – 2:45pm)
Conflict is expensive financially and emotionally. Once conflict has continued parties are entrenched in positions rather than resolution interests. The best option for conflict is when it is prevented. When we have a better understanding of conflict, it changes the way we speak, hear, and understand others.
