Live Like a Leader

Coping with Conflict | Liz Kislik

Episode Summary

Besides being delightful and fun to talk with, Liz Kislik is a management consultant, executive coach, and a frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review and Forbes. Her TEDx talk “Why There’s So Much Conflict at Work and What You Can Do to Fix It” has received more than a quarter of a million views. You'll love what she has to share. We discuss the fact that the underlying stress that everyone is feeling these days is like a low-grade fever and what leaders can do to cope with it. We discuss the importance of giving ourselves more room and understanding, taking the time to pause and notice our feelings, and much more. Liz is a wonderful, passionate, yet calming presence, and she shares useful, practical advice in this wonderful conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did - I think you will!
