Preconference Morning Session - Navigating Conflict with Empathy: Looking for the Win-Win

Wednesday October 28, 2026 9:30am - 11:15am EDT

Conservatory

We all have lenses through which we see the world, which help our brains sort information and make meaning out of the world around us. However, when we’re stressed, busy, or in conflict with someone, we often forget to consider that everybody else is doing the same thing, and our views might not align.

We’ll also discuss strategies to infuse a more empathetic mindset into your work and life in order to better navigate difficult interactions and work toward transforming conflicts into win-win situations.
