Summary

We all have conversations we know we should have, but keep putting off. Maybe it feels too small to bring up, or we worry that saying something will only make it worse. But avoiding the conversation rarely makes the issue go away. According to conflict resolution facilitator Priya Parker, the conversations we avoid are often the ones we need most. In fact, the right kind of conflict can actually bring us closer. Priya is the author of the new book The Art of Fighting , and she's spent her career helping people get better at navigating conflict instead of running from it. In this conversation, Priya explains why healthy conflict can build trust and shares practical tools for approaching difficult conversations. If there's a conversation you know you need to have, this might be the nudge you need to finally have it. More from Molly: Get Molly's latest book, Dynamic Drive Website: mollyfletcher.com
