Tessa dives into the art of navigating workplace conflict with Karin Hurt and David Dye, authors of "Powerful Phrases for Dealing with Workplace Conflict." They highlight the common pitfall of avoiding difficult conversations, which are crucial for personal and professional development. David and Karin provide a practical script for initiating these conversations and introduce the four dimensions of productive conflict: connection, clarity, curiosity, and commitment. They share impactful phrases, or "GOATs," that help start conversations within each dimension. From addressing a micromanager to discussing mental health challenges with an employer, they equip listeners with the tools to handle various workplace scenarios.

Karin Hurt and David Dye empower leaders to navigate uncertainty, spark innovation, and achieve remarkable outcomes. As CEO and President of Let's Grow Leaders, their practical tools and leadership programs leave a lasting impact. These award-winning authors have penned six books, including "Courageous Cultures" and "Powerful Phrases for Dealing With Workplace Conflict." Karin, a former Verizon Wireless executive and acclaimed leadership speaker, and David, a former executive and elected official, combine their expertise to guide organizations forward. Committed to social impact, they also champion the Winning Wells initiative, providing clean water to Cambodian communities.
