How to take control of conflict so it doesn't control you
Briefly

Robert Bordone and Dr. Joel Salinas, experts in negotiation and conflict resolution, emphasize in their book 'Conflict Resilience' that instead of viewing conflict as a battle, it can be transformed into an opportunity for connection and positive outcomes. They discuss how our brains perceive conflict like a physical threat and outline strategies for navigating disagreements with confidence. The authors present keys to harnessing conflict for growth in personal and professional relationships, showing that embracing tension can lead to valuable insights and improvements across various areas of life.
