Are you struggling with conflict at work, home or in the world? Award-winning conflict management consultant and author of the book “Optimal Outcomes: Free Yourself from Conflict,” Dr. Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler, shows us how to free ourselves even when conflict resolution seems impossible. Using an inspiring personal example, Jennifer helps us see that when our attempts to resolve conflict fail, we can free ourselves by doing something different and taking pattern-breaking action. She demonstrates three practices: mapping out the conflict; honoring shadow values; and listening to our emotions, and how they can help you free yourself from conflict even without anyone else’s cooperation.
