Have you ever walked away from a difficult conversation wishing it had gone differently? This month, we're thrilled to welcome Moonwater, Executive Director of the Whatcom Dispute Resolution Center, who has dedicated her career to transforming the way people navigate conflict. In her session, Conflict IQ and You, Moonwater will explore the real impact conflict has on our lives and workplaces, unpack the roots of why it arises, and demystify the communication dynamics that make it so complex — all while offering practical, actionable tips you can start using right away. Whether you're managing a tricky team dynamic, a challenging client relationship, or a difficult personal conversation, this session was made for you.

Come ready to reflect and connect! We'll be exploring questions like: How comfortable do you feel in difficult conversations? What conflict feels hardest to navigate — and what strategies have actually worked for you? Moonwater brings both deep expertise and a refreshingly warm sense of humor to this topic (she'll tell you herself she's also been weighing her options as a barrel racing rodeo star and is still awaiting Jeff Probst's call). You're guaranteed to leave with new insight, fresh tools, and maybe a few laughs along the way. Don't miss this one!
