Cut the Conflict in Council
Welcome to the podcast "Cut the Conflict in Council." If you work in Local Government this podcast will give you the insights and tools on how to navigate conflict effectively and handle those difficult conversations without losing your cool. Ongoing conflict creates stress and an unhealthy workplace. I am currently the Mayor at my local Council, an award-winning lawyer, mediator and conflict management specialist. I train, coach and mentor people on how to manage conflict effectively. Each week on the podcast I will be delving into different topics related to conflict management and giving you lots of information on how to prevent conflict escalating so make sure you tune in.
Cut the Conflict in Council
Emotions and Conflict – how our emotions impact our behaviour
In this episode I interview Samantha Hardy about why she thinks conflict can be useful and helpful, what drives conflict and how we can manage it in a constructive way when we have those difficult conversations in Council. You will take so much away from this conversation that you can put into practice which will help you manage your emotions when you feel triggered so you respond rather than react.
Samantha's mission in life is to help people think differently about conflict, so they can manage it better. She says that she is committed to providing opportunities for people to reflect on their experiences of conflict through coaching and also professional development training.
