Episode 99: The Power of Conflict In Business
No, really. What do you do when there’s conflict? How do you react?
Do you run away? Are you scared? Do you yell? Are you great at compromising?
Learning how to fight, and compromise, and then fight again is a huge skillset when it comes to running a successful business.
In this week’s episode, I sat down with not just one amazing lady, but two! I’m thrilled to share this discussion I had with the voices behind the Bossy Brilliant & Badass Podcast, Lisa Lindsey and Liz Green.
These two have studied (seriously, check out their credentials below) and applied the work of collaboration and conflict to their own partnership
I'll be honest, I have a really hard time with partnership in business. I don’t love being accountable to anyone else (I know! But I really don’t!), and I like being able to feel “free” as I build. I loved sharing that with them, and I loved their honest answers about what it means to really be in partnership with someone else.
These two women are a great example of what’s possible when you learn how to share what you need, you know your conflict style (listen up for that part!), and you work through your disagreements in a way that helps your business flourish instead of flounder.
Here’s a little bit more about my guests this week:
Liz and Lisa are both coaches and entrepreneurs. Each week on their podcast, they’ll share their journeys to success and what they think it REALLY takes to be a badass!
Lisa is a human resources consultant and executive coach. She’s completed her bachelor’s and master’s, built HR departments from the ground up, and started Peale Piper, an HR consulting and executive coaching firm.
Lisa’s passionate about helping others discover the power of coaching with a focus on believing in themselves, owning their power, and getting to the next level professionally.
Liz is a small business owner and a credentialed entrepreneur coach (International Coaching Federation).
She’s passionate about helping entrepreneurs, business owners, CEOs, creatives, and other badass women to find their own BRAND OF BADASS, and to embrace all their “parts” (even the critic and judge!), to find inner balance and harmony.
She holds a certificate of completion (3,500 hours) in psychodrama action methods, is trained in the Internal Family Systems model, and holds certification in mental health. Her distinctive coaching approach combines classic coaching, psychodrama action techniques, and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.
