Conflict is a natural and healthy part of any collaborative team, and when handled skillfully can propel organizations to new levels of impact. Yet in all too many purpose-driven organizations, conflict has had the opposite effect, resulting in lower morale, loss in productivity, slower innovation and increased turnover. What are we getting wrong about conflict - and how can living systems point us towards a different paradigm of dealing with it?

In this interactive session, members of Regenerate Change and Gather Better will introduce the art of “conflict composting,” a set of practices that treat interpersonal differences as the critical nutrients for healthy team culture. You’ll get better at distinguishing between challenge, conflict, violation and harm. You’ll learn frameworks and activities that transform hostility and resentment into curiosity and compassion. And you’ll walk away feeling more empowered to face conflicts in your organization with confidence and care.
