To Move Forward,
Conflict is the Way
The Mindset Shift to Stop Avoiding,
Start Engaging, and Grow Stronger
Conflict isn’t the problem—our fear of it is.
Most professionals are trained to believe that conflict is something to avoid—that great teams don’t disagree, that smooth conversations mean alignment, and that “keeping the peace” is the mark of strong leadership. But that’s a myth.
The best teams, the most innovative companies, and the boldest leaders don’t avoid conflict—they use it.
This high-impact keynote reshapes how organizations, teams, and leaders engage with conflict, turning it from a point of tension into a tool for trust, innovation, and stronger connections.
Rooted in Joey’s DO Conflict Framework, this session equips leaders, executives, and individual contributors with a simple, actionable roadmap to handle tough conversations with confidence, clarity, and strategy.
