Episode#134 - Discover Why Conflict Avoidance Is Costing Your Workplace More Than You Realize

Joyce Odidison

Hi, I’m Joyce Odidison, Conflict Analyst, Resilience Coach, and Workplace Wellness Expert.

For over 28 years, I’ve helped organizations resolve workplace conflict, rebuild trust, and transform toxic dynamics into high-performing, resilient cultures.

However, one of the most damaging and often overlooked issues I see is conflict avoidance. When leaders or teams avoid difficult conversations, it often results in:

✅ Chronic stress and burnout
✅ Team disengagement and low morale
✅ Passive-aggressive behavior and poor collaboration
✅ Lost productivity and eroded workplace trust

In this episode, I’ll share:

Why “keeping the peace” leads to deeper employee disengagement

How silence becomes the loudest form of workplace tension

What healthy conflict really looks like and why it's key to building team trust and resilience

The micro-skills every leader needs to manage conflict effectively
