Tension, pain, frustration, sadness, heart racing, butterflies in your stomach, sweaty palms, stress. Any of those things sound familiar? Those are some of the feelings that come up when we experience conflict. Lady, you’re going to want to grab something to take notes because Teacher T steps into H.E.R Space and helps us to explore what is conflict resolution and why is it important. In today’s episode, Dom and Terri use real-life scenarios to show us how to disagree with someone effectively. With the use of these tips, we can all become better communicators and see improvements in our relationships with friends, families, and coworkers.
