Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to deal with a conflict, and noticed that you always approach it in a certain way? Whether you are aware of it or not, everyone has a preferred conflict style that they tend to use. Understanding your own conflict style and styles of others can make a significant difference in how conflicts are resolved. 

In this episode, we dive into five primary conflict styles - Competing, Collaborating, Compromising, Accommodating, and Avoiding. We’ll explain what each style entails and give examples of how they play out in real-life situations. By breaking down the pros and cons of each style, we’ll help you identify your own preferences and give you insights on how to recognize and work with other styles. 

Join TalkDoc, Meredith and Teighlor as we explore different conflict styles and learn how to navigate them in a constructive and positive way. With our practical tips and examples, you’ll come away with a better understanding of how to handle conflicts and build stronger relationships you want to keep.
