Conflict Resolution & Bridging Divides in a Polarized World with Joe Weston

Joe Weston is an international thought leader, author, coach, and advocate for lasting peace. With a career spanning 30+ years in the fields of conflict prevention, leadership, stress management, and communication, he is a highly sought-after facilitator for individuals, corporations, government agencies, and nonprofits around the world. He is the founder and owner of the Weston Network which provides global training, consulting, and coaching based on his Respectful Confrontation methodology. In 2020, Joe founded the Fierce Civility Project, a nonprofit that helps to reclaim and reframe the concept of civility for the 21st century and break the gridlock caused by extreme polarization in these unique and challenging times.

Highlights from Michael and Joe's insightful conversation include:

-How Joe's volatile childhood growing up in Queens, NY made him wonder why humans have conflict

-What Respectful Confrontation is, and how it's an embodied practice consisting of skills and strategies of the heart

-The three main polarities and why we won't resolve our external polarization until we address our internal stagnant polarization

-The power of the pivot and what it means to "Love thy Stranger"

-Joe's Fierce Civility Project, curing "chronic niceness", the difference between peace and lasting peace, the 6-Step Pathway of Hope; and so much more!

Next, Michael leads a brief guided meditation.
