Conflict as Connection: The Power of Generative Energy with James Boutin

What if conflict could be an act of love? Join me as I chat with James Boutin, facilitator, educator and coach, as we explore a radical reframe of conflict, thinking of it not as something to avoid, or to win but as an energetic space that can either deplete or enable connection. Put another way, how we show matters as much as what we say. He unpacks the difference between generative and extractive conflict and together we examine how the energy we bring to disagreement shapes the outcome. James also offers some strategies to build our capacity for more conflict resilience. You can find out more about him at www.jamesboutin.com
