POW! DaVita's Power of Women episodes

  • Navigating Conflict with Confidence
    Have you ever wondered why navigating disagreement at work can feel uniquely challenging, or how to turn difficult conversations into productive outcomes? Research indicates that women often feel less comfortable openly disagreeing or perceive greater professional risk when speaking up, highlighting conflict management as a crucial skill for every leader.

Together, they share tactical advice and practical tools to help leaders triage high-stakes issues, master the power of silence, deliver direct feedback constructively and navigate competing priorities.
