Stop Avoiding Conflict and Start Leading Through It with Ursula Taylor
2025-06-03
Avoiding conflict might feel like the safest move, but it often leads to confusion, disconnection, and missed opportunities. Conflict is part of leadership. What matters is how you choose to engage with it.
In this episode, I’m joined by conflict consultant and former litigation attorney Ursula Taylor for a real conversation about what it takes to show up in hard moments. We talk about why self-awareness is the foundation of conflict resolution, how to create emotional safety without losing authority, and what it looks like to lead with vulnerability in high-stakes situations.
If you’ve been dreading a tough conversation or avoiding tension on your team, this episode will help you shift how you see conflict and give you tools to move through it with clarity.
