Conflict facilitator, strategic adviser, and author Priya Parker joins us to share “The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict,” a paradigm-shattering exploration of how we fight and how we build healthy conflict. She’ll be joined in conversation by Godmothers co-founder Jennifer Rudolph Walsh.

We say we want community. Successful teams. High-performing colleagues and workplaces. Dynamic friend groups. Yet many of us don’t understand the crucial element we need to forge long-lasting communities in our lives: healthy conflict.

In “The Art of Fighting,” Priya explains that we can’t form and grow effective relationships without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or that good groups don’t fight. All groups change and evolve; indeed, it’s because people disagree that good groups flourish.

As she did in the now-classic “The Art of Gathering,” Parker draws on her far-reaching experience as a conflict facilitator, her own detailed 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.
