Are you hiding, or not speaking up, because you’re concerned people might disagree with you?

Well, chances are, someone will! After all, if they already agreed with you, you wouldn’t need to say what you have to say, right?

So in this episode I’m sharing some techniques to manage disagreements and conflict.

Listen in to hear:

• Why disagreements are not as bad as you think

• How conflict is NOT tied to your professional value, though, how you manage it could very well increase your professional reputation

• How to pace out objections to dissipate conflict before it happens

• How to use agreements frames to manage and acknowledge differing opinions as they arise

• Why getting comfortable with conflict is a really powerful skill to have if you want to influence change
