Conflict. Just the word is enough to make many of us uncomfortable. Whether it’s the tension in a meeting, the conversation you keep putting off, or the unspoken disagreement that lingers like background noise — conflict is everywhere at work. But most of us were never taught how to deal with it. So, we avoid it.

In this episode, we take a deeper, more human look at why we avoid conflict, how that avoidance impacts your well-being, your relationships, and even your career — and most importantly, how to handle it skillfully, not fearfully.

You’ll be guided through a self-assessment, hear relatable truths about our biological aversion to confrontation, and learn practical tips for managing conflict with clarity, confidence, and empathy.
