Conflict Transformation:

Learning to Love (or at Least Deal With) Conflict 

 Tuesday, Dec. 16 | 2-2:50 p.m. ET/11-11:50 a.m. PT

From workplace tensions to policy debates, 2025 highlighted how conflict is an unavoidable part of public service. Rather than viewing conflict as a barrier, agencies are beginning to recognize it as a catalyst for innovation, resilience, and stronger teamwork.  

Join us online Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT for a dynamic conversation with a government thought leader. We’ll explore practical strategies for reframing conflict, building healthier dialogue, and turning friction into forward momentum in the public sector. 

Specifically, you'll learn: 
 
  • The most common sources of conflict among government employees and within public service environments.
  • How leaders and teams can shift perspectives to see conflict as an opportunity rather than a threat.
  • What to expect in 2026 as agencies adopt new approaches to communication, negotiation, and collaboration.

Other Info:

  • Closed captioning will be available.
  • Registrants will receive the session recording on Wednesday, Dec. 17
