Why Conflict is a Signal of Change

Working with the system to support change

Ep. 20 Conflict Part 1: Signals That Something Needs/Wants to Change

Show Notes

Katie Churchman speaks with ORSC coach and legally trained consultant Jennifer Pernfuss and CRR Global co-founder Marita Fridjhon about conflict. Conflict is a signal that something is trying to happen and when the signal of conflict isn’t addressed. Left unaddressed, it can escalate to other, often more destructive forms of conflict. When we become aware of the early warning signals, we can produce better, more considered, outcomes. This episode discusses:

  • the meaning of conflict as a signal that something is trying to happen
  • becoming more attuned to conflict signals
  • understanding that conflict is a normal and inevitable part of life
  • leaning into conflict and learning how to navigate it more skillfully

Maddie Weinreich is one of CRR Global’s most experienced coaches. While Maddie excels at coaching and training business teams, her passion lies in supporting couples to become the dynamic architects of their own relationship. She custom-designs coaching programs for couples to achieve the vision they have for their personal and professional lives.
