For most leaders, conflict is something to manage, minimize, or escape. But what if you could approach it the way a sommelier approaches wine — not rushing past the sharpness, but discerning the layers underneath? Conflict carries notes of fear, unspoken truths, competing needs, and buried power. When you learn to recognize and work with these layers, conflict becomes less of a threat and more of a teacher.
This six-week Circle is designed for executives and senior leaders who want to expand their conflict competence — moving beyond quick fixes or avoidance into the deeper capacity to stay present, listen closely, and respond with nuance. Together, we’ll explore:
Developing your palate for tension — learning to track subtle signals in yourself and others before conflict boils over
Building presence under heat — strengthening your ability to stay grounded when conversations intensify
Shifting from reaction to discernment — identifying what conflict is really asking of you as a leader
Transforming tension into growth — using conflict as a catalyst for stronger relationships, healthier systems, and more authentic leadership
This is not about “resolving” conflict in neat packages. It’s about cultivating the courage to linger in the heat, the discernment to taste its complexity, and the leadership skill to turn those moments into opportunities for clarity, trust, and change.
These circles are not for everyone — they’re for executives willing to engage at depth, with candor and courage. Joining means stepping into a space where truth, power, and responsibility can be explored without pretense — and where the way you lead, and the impact you make, can shift.
Circles are by application only. If accepted, you’ll receive full details on participation, including the financial investment.
