About this Episode

Anna Lecat, conflict and communications consultant and author of Loving Conflict, talks with Brent Peterson about why the people with the best relationships face conflict instead of avoiding it, and how fighting kindly builds trust in teams, partnerships and companies.

Anna Lecat, a conflict and communications consultant, CEO of two companies and author of Loving Conflict, joins Brent Peterson on EO Visionary Voices, presented in partnership with EO Minnesota, to talk about why the people with the best relationships are the ones who face conflict instead of avoiding it.

What does healthy conflict look like? In Anna's words, "There is fighting kindly. That's what Loving Conflict is all about."

In this conversation
  • Why avoiding conflict erodes trust, and why fighting without care erodes it too
  • Her framework for a hard conversation, which starts with noticing your body, finding the real facts, and listening ready to change your mind
  • Sitting side by side with your partner so the problem sits in front of you both, not between you
  • Catching irritation early, before the last button gets pushed, and repairing trust after a blowup
  • How unresolved tension inside a team reaches your customers
  • Hiring by telling candidates your why and your fears up front
  • How tango, which she has danced for 17 years, became her metaphor for leading, following and listening
