Conflict is often unavoidable, but when handled well, it can become the catalyst for stronger partnerships, accelerated collaboration and lasting competitive advantage. Speaker Gabe Karp reframes “the hard stuff” as a tool for collaborative growth rather than something to fear. Attendees will learn practical, easy-to-apply strategies to detox unhealthy interactions, transform uncomfortable situations into opportunities for growth and build cultures of psychological safety that fuel collaboration and performance.
