I was so blown away last week by the barrage of emails I received in response to Stop Subsisting on Fast Food Communication. As I grinned from ear-to-ear as so many of you asked, “Alexia, were you vlogging about me?” I realized the need to go deeper into the various symptoms of fast food communication.
And one of the biggies is in how we think about and engage with conflict.
One day I will be able to write that I love conflict. I’m not there yet, though. I’d say I’m stuck somewhere in between finding conflict a fun challenge and still harboring a primarily philosophical appreciation for conflict as an often necessary catalyst for change.
(In case you haven’t noticed by now, I have a tendency to speak and write about that which I’m working on myself!)
Irrespective of my own developing relationship with conflict, I’m certain that when we allow our discomfort about the possibility and reality of conflict to prevent us from engaging with it, we make a big ole hot mess for ourselves and the people we’re avoiding having conflict with. So in this week’s vlog, I’ll share the reasons why conflict may be EXACTLY what you need to launch to the next level of success.
What lingering questions do you still have about conflict?
Is there a situation where you feel stuck?
Just don’t know how to initiate the conversation?
