Productive Conflict™ Resolution: Why It is Critical to Your Success & How to Use It
Presented by: Dr. Robyn Odegaard, CEO, Champion Performance Development
Engaging in conflict-related conversations for women is challenging as most women avoid dealing with conflict, ignore it or hope it goes away. This approach can temporarily remove the immediate conflict you face; however, the conflicting issue will likely present itself again later in life. In this session, Doc Robyn will teach you how to avoid this and instead engage in Productive Conflict™ resolution in order to gain influence, freedom, success, and most importantly, happiness. You’ll leave with new skills and a copy of Doc Robyn’s recent book, The Ultimate Guide to Handling Every Disagreement Every Time.
