X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>VIRTUAL | After the event date\, watch the
  talk any time through <a href="https://libraryc.org/bpl">Library Speakers
  Consortium</a></p>\n<p>A paradigm-shifting\, essential event with world-r
 enowned master facilitator Priya Parker to discuss her groundbreaking new 
 book\,&nbsp\;<em>The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict
 </em>.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Parker explains that we can&rsquo\;t form and grow e
 ffective relationships without a fight. She 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 people disagree that good groups fl
 ourish.</p>\n<p>As she did in the now-classic&nbsp\;<em>The Art of Gatheri
 ng</em>\, Parker draws on her far-reaching experience as a conflict facili
 tator\, her own detailed research\, and real-world examples to lay out how
  people can identify disputes\, determine how to address them\, and decide
  what to do if they are insurmountable. Conflict is a part of life\, and u
 nderstanding how to harness the power of healthy conflict is more importan
 t than ever.</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>Priya Parker is an interna
 tionally recognized expert on creating purposeful gatherings and reimagini
 ng how we come together in our communities and our workplaces. She is a co
 nflict facilitator\, strategic advisor\, speaker\, and author of the accla
