We help communities and companies get smarter about how they fight. By incorporating insights from neuroscience, conflict mediation, social psychology, and solutions journalism, we make it easier for people to respond to discord without collapsing into contempt.
We’ve spent nearly a half-century, combined, navigating conflicts and controversies that span the globe. Our research and reporting have revealed how to use skilled communication combined with personal narrative as a positive force to reckon with complex problems.
To help build conflict fluency, Good Conflict provides tailored training workshops, strategy sessions, and original resources and content. We help people move beyond slogans and tweets to a place where people can connect and grow--even in the midst of profound disagreement.
As workplaces become more diverse and employees keep pushing to be heard, as the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fast-changing, there is no escaping conflict. It’s a feature of modern life.
The only healthy option is to harness conflict. We have to get much smarter about how we fight.
