We all experience conflict in our daily lives, from small inconvenient conflicts to conflicts that alter the path of our lives. Even though conflict is one of the most natural occurrences in the human experience, most of us don’t have effective strategies and frameworks for approaching conflict when it happens. This purpose book provides basic strategies and frameworks for folks that want to learn to turn conflict into an opportunity in their lives that leads to stronger relationships.
The intended audience is really anyone that wants to get better at managing the conflict in their lives. Focusing most on college students, but the concepts span across anyone that deals with other people on a regular basis.
