In this session, you will learn how to approach difficult conversations, address problems before they grow, and pursue solutions that protect both relationships and the mission.
By the end of this session, you will better understand the causes of conflict, recognize healthy and unhealthy ways of responding to tension, and develop practical strategies for resolving disagreements while maintaining truth, respect, unity, and healthy relationships.
