Transforming Conflict Into Conversation

Guest User

Conflict is an inevitable byproduct of being in community with others.  We tend to see discord as a negative state, but what if we had the tools to authentically turn it into a conversation?

In her blog post and podcast, The Magic of Validation, Jennifer Gonzalez offers an elegant and thorough explanation of how validation can be the means for transforming negativity and disagreement into dialogue with both students and colleagues.  In addition to describing the why and the how of validation, Gonzalez provides strategies for overcoming our own resistance to using this powerful communication technique.
