DESCRIPTION:Join us for a paradigm-shifting event as we sit down with Priy
 a Parker to discuss her groundbreaking new book\, <i>The Art of Fighting: 
 The Transformative Power of Conflict</i>. .\nhttps://myapl.libnet.info/eve
 nt/17236326
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In&nbsp\;<em>The Art of Fighting</em>\, Pr
 iya Parker explains that we can&rsquo\;t form and grow effective relations
 hips without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or th
 at 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>As
  she did in the now-classic&nbsp\;<em>The Art of Gathering</em>\, Parker d
 raws on her far-reaching experience as a conflict facilitator\, her own de
 tailed research\, and real-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 l
 ocker room\, on a playground 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 important than ever.&nbsp\;<em>The Art of Fighting</em>
 &nbsp\;is a vital primer to help all of us understand how to do that.</p>\

 oments of connection and trust!</p>\n<p>About the Author:&nbsp\; Priya Par
