Join us for a par adigm-shifting\, essential event as we sit down with world-renowned master facilitator Priya Parker to discuss her groundbreaking new book\, \;< em>The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict. \;< /p>\n

In \;The Art of Fighting\, Priya Parker explains that we can&rsquo\;t form and grow effective relationships without a fight. Sh e rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or that good groups don&rsquo \;t fight. All groups change and evolve\; indeed\, it&rsquo\;s because peo ple disagree that good groups flourish.

\n

As she did in the now-clas sic \;The Art of Gathering\, Parker draws on her far-reaching experience as a conflict facilitator\, her own detailed research\, and re al-world examples to lay out the ways that people can identify disputes\, determine how to address them\, and what to do if they are insurmountable. Whether people disagree in the boardroom or the locker room\, on a playgr ound or in church\, online or in person\, conflict is a part of life\, and understanding healthy conflict and how to harness its power is more impor tant than ever. \;The Art of Fighting \;is a vital primer to help all of us understand how to do that.
