Talking points: relationships, conflict

Key word there? Improve. There will always be some form of butting heads, no matter the relationship, no matter how long. But it doesn't have to be something that creates wreckage. It can actually be helpful. Here's what to do.

(00:00:00) - Intro

(00:02:27)- The first three minutes, and why conflict CAN be productive

(00:04:57) - Know the role you tend to play

(00:05:47) - Breathe and ground, breathe and ground

(00:07:20) - Don’t get stuck in the objective reality and ignore the subjective experience of each other

(00:12:42) - Study (and I mean study) the first three minutes of conflict
