Amanda Ripley | Breaking the Cycle of High Conflict
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a conflict that seems impossible to resolve? What if there was a way to break these cycles of intense conflict? Amanda Ripley joins Today’s Conversation to explore why some conflicts spiral out of control — and how we can shift the outcome.
As our country grapples with such high levels of conflict, NAE President Walter Kim and Amanda Ripley, author of “High Conflict” and co-founder of Good Conflict, dive into how conflicts escalate, the psychology behind heated disagreements, and practical steps to transform high conflict into good conflict.
You’ll also hear them discuss:
- The factors that fuel high conflict in relationships and society;
- Actionable steps to take in high-conflict moments, such as on an airplane or polling station;
- Biblical examples of navigating high-conflict situations; and
- How to enter into productive conflict through vulnerability and humility.
