Ep 166, What is Conflict?

This week on Conflict Managed, we welcome Dr. Ute Liersch for a thoughtful conversation about navigating life and work with courage and clarity.

We explore:

• How you want to show up in the world
• Focusing on behavior instead of judging the person
• What courage really feels like
• Owning and handling personal mistakes
• The hidden harm of toxic positivity
• Why creating doubt in your own beliefs can help you grow
• Building resilience by learning to yield rather than break

 

Conflict Managed is available wherever you listen to podcasts and to watch on YouTube @3pconflictrestoration.
