Life IS Conflict Management

Have you ever met someone that was so afraid of CONFLICT that they missed out on LIFE? Yeah, me too...

Here’s the uncomfortable truth most of us spend a lifetime dodging - Life isn’t about avoiding conflict. Life is conflict management.

Join Dave for some thoughts on:

Conflict Is the Price of Meaning
Every Arena That Matters Has Conflict Baked In
Five Areas Where Conflict Is Constructive and Necessary
Five Ways to Address Conflict (Even If You Hate Conflict)
Five Dangers of Avoiding Necessary Conflict
Five Benefits of Embracing Necessary Conflict

Life isn’t asking you to seek conflict. It’s asking you to stop running from it.

Freedom comes from facing what binds you. Control comes from managing what you can influence. Resolve comes from staying standing when things push back.

The life you want isn’t on the other side of comfort. It’s on the other side of the conflict you’ve been postponing.

And you’re more equipped than you think...

Giddyup!!!
