Conflict is a gap between what we believe to be true and something that contradicts it. Conflict is not inherently bad. Our negative emotional reactions create the dissonance. The moment you judge one idea superior or inferior to another, you move away from an opportunity to learn from differences and closer to conflict, which is polarizing and stops conversation. Just because you have differences doesn’t mean you have to be in conflict; conflict happens after you’ve drawn a judgment. If you can avoid the judgment, you can avoid the conflict. If you do find yourself in conflict, this Lunch N Learn will provide you with skills and tools to successfully navigate it and figure out how to avoid it in the future.
