Conflict Resolution

Finding a way through the drama without making it worse.

Why It Matters

Disagreements happen. It’s how you handle them that shows real strength.


Conflict resolution is about staying calm, listening well, and working things out without blowing up.

How You Know You’ve Got It

  1. You stay cool when people disagree

  2. You listen, even if you don’t agree

  3. You try to fix the problem—not just win the argument

How To Level Up

  1. Say: “Help me understand your side” before jumping in

  2. Pause when you're heated—breathe before you speak

  3. Look for common ground, not just who's right
