Disagree better
The way we handle disagreement shapes the caliber of our work, the extent of our influence, the strength of our relationships, even our sense of well-being.

When people say they don’t like conflict…
…they often mean that they don’t like the toll it can inflict: The drain on energy. The stalled progress. The threat to reputation and the strain on vital relationships.
Yet friction can fuel insight. A clash of ideas, handled well, can sharpen thinking, broaden perspective, and lead to smarter choices. Healthy debate isn’t the enemy—it’s the path to better outcomes.
When we disagree better, conflict stops being a threat and starts being a catalyst, driving breakthroughs while protecting the bonds that matter most.
To disagree better is to handle conflict in ways that spark insight and deepen trust.
