CV Presents:
6 DIFFERENT SHIFTS IN THINKING ABOUT CONFLICT: People in conflict tend to tell stories, to themselves and others, about their conflict. However, often the types of stories we tell keep us stuck in unproductive responses to conflict.
In this session you will explore six shifts that help people move into a more constructive conflict story, which opens up more choices for constructive engagement with the conflict.
