Description

In this episode we welcome fellow coaches, Florence Hardy and Jessica Cowan, to talk about resolving conflict. Listen as each of us shares our individual preferences around conflict and how our strengths either help us resolve it, or sometimes get in the way. Avoiding conflict can mean staying silent when something needs to be said, so we stress the importance of perspective and using our voice, offering practical advice for one-on-one conversations. We also reflect on the manager’s role, not to fix the conflict, but to create space for resolution by setting clear goals, using their own talents to encourage open dialogue, and ensuring every voice is heard.
