Featuring Manar Morales, Founder & CEO, DFA

Living Your All™: Empowering individuals to Lead Well, Live Well and Stay Well will introduce a new way of thinking about success, one where personal well-being and professional excellence work together.

Session 2:
Becoming A More Conflict-Intelligent Leader
Featuring Dr. Jeanine W. Turner, Professor, Georgetown University
October 22 | 1:00 pm ET
Successful conflict can be a necessary and integral part of innovative and creative organizations. However, leaders can find it difficult to create a space where constructive disagreement can lead to breakthrough opportunities. The first step towards this environment involves gaining self-awareness about your own conflict style and developing a curiosity about how the rest of your team approaches conflict. This seminar will explore the five conflict styles that individuals bring to a conversation and provide strategies for addressing these styles and communicating about them in your team.
Session 3:
