CONFLICT RESILIENCE

NEGOTIATING DISAGREEMENT WITHOUT GIVING UP OR GIVING IN

Bob Bordone, a conflict management expert, and Dr. Joel Salinas, a leading neurologist, tackle the growing challenge of handling conflict in all areas of life, from boardrooms to personal relationships. In Conflict Resilience, they introduce a new approach: using conflict as a tool for growth. Instead of avoiding or escalating disagreements, the book teaches you to face them with courage and compassion, transforming conflict into a source of strength and deeper connection.
