Conflict is a universal experience. Anywhere two people are present, conflict is likely to occur at some level. This conflict can be devastatingly harmful, but it can also foster growth and progress. Given how ubiquitous conflict is, it’s critical for us to learn how to identify it, work through it, and use it for good.  To help us get started in this process, our expert guest is Dr. Erica Martin.

The three big questions she is going to answer for us include: 

1. What is conflict and what is its impact?

2. Why do we find ourselves in conflict so often, and why is it hard for us?

3. What can we do to turn conflict into progress— at work and in our everyday relationships?
