108 What benefits do you get from conflict competence?

November 09, 2025 • Dr. Deborah Sword, with co-host Tyson Bankert • Season 4 • Episode 108

How do you feel during and after you have a conflict? Our goal is for you to manage your conflicts well enough that you don't feel bad, awful, or regret. You'll do conflict better when you know the real issue that's the problem, and then choose the right conflict competency to manage that issue. That's how you own your conflict. Let's see how you can own your conflict.
