X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p style="text-align: justify\;">Join us for 
 a paradigm-shifting\, essential event as we sit down with world-renowned m
 aster facilitator Priya Parker to discuss her groundbreaking new book\, <e
 m>The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict</em>.&nbsp\;</
 p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">In <em>The Art of Fighting</em>\, Pri
 ya Parker explains that we can&rsquo\;t form and grow effective relationsh
 ips without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or tha
 t good groups don&rsquo\;t fight. All groups change and evolve\; indeed\, 
 it&rsquo\;s because people disagree that good groups flourish.</p>\n<p sty
 le="text-align: justify\;">As she did in the now-classic <em>The Art of Ga
 thering</em>\, Parker draws on her far-reaching experience as a conflict f
 acilitator\, her own detailed research\, and real-world examples to lay ou
 t the ways that people can identify disputes\, determine how to address th
 em\, and what to do if they are insurmountable. Whether people disagree in
  the boardroom or the locker room\, on a playground or in church\, online 
 or in person\, conflict is a part of life\, and understanding healthy conf
 lict and how to harness its power is more important than ever. The Art of 
 Fighting is a vital primer to help all of us understand how to do that.</p
