11:00 a.m. Productive ConflictTM Resolution: Why It is Critical to Your Success and How to Use It
Engaging in conflict-related conversations for women is often challenging as most women avoid dealing with conflict, ignore it or hope it goes away. This approach can temporarily remove the immediate conflict you face. However, the conflicting issue will likely present itself again later in life. Doc Robyn calls this the “volcano method” to conflict resolution. In this session, Doc Robyn will teach you how to avoid this and instead engage in Productive ConflictTM resolution in order to gain influence, freedom, success and most importantly, happiness. You’ll leave with new skills and a copy of Doc Robyn’s recent book, The Ultimate Guide to Handling Every Disagreement Every Time.
• Robyn Odegaard, Psy.D., CEO, Champion Performance Development
