Program Description:
What if conflict didn’t have to feel so uncomfortable? In this empowering and practical keynote, Haley Grayless, MSOD, founder of Växa Collective, invites leaders to reframe conflict as a powerful tool for connection, clarity, and change. Through the lens of Curious Communication, attendees will learn how to lean into tough conversations with confidence, emotional intelligence, and curiosity; transforming moments of tension into opportunities for trust and team growth.
Whether you're leading a team, collaborating with peers, or navigating challenging personalities of external relationships, this keynote will give you the tools to communicate boldly without burning bridges.
Key Takeaways:
1. Pinpoint your conflict style: Take a quick self-assessment to identify where you fall on the Conflict Pendulum and learn how to shift toward healthy, assertive communication.
2. Learn the Curious Confrontation method: A simple framework to stay calm, curious, and constructive in real-time when conversations get tough.
Get plug-and-play phrases and scripts: Walk away with ready-to-use language for navigating hard conversations—whether you’re giving feedback, setting boundaries, or addressing misalignment
