  • We dive into the complexities of conflict - why we want to avoid it and why we should expect and embrace it instead. 

  • We discuss how leaders can set things up to make conflict expected and valued on their teams. 

  • Listen to some great questions about asking questions! We talk about how to reframe questions as a way to “growth and learning” instead of a way to challenge people or practices. 

  • We ended with some curiosity around the word and the practice of challenge. Why has challenge become a bad word?  Should it be?  Maybe challenging our thinking could be a good thing.  So much more to think about.  What do you think? 

 
“The research is so very clear that when people are “well” it increases their health, happiness, and success.”

Hi, I’m Gail Markin.
Hi, I’m Gail Markin.

One of the things I love about learning and developing workplace well-being is the interplay of science and soul. I wrote Beyond Self Care with research along stories from the field with the goal to add one small piece to the important, collective work on well-being and just maybe take one little thing off your most certainly overloaded plate!
