“Life is all about conflict, solving one conflict after another. That’s how we develop.”
“Conflict is normal and a sign of growth.”
“The strongest quality of a leader is being a listener.”
“It doesn’t have to be my way or your way, but let’s create a way.”
The LIFE acronym is the foundation of Rosemary’s conflict resolution process. She’s created a poem with it. Click here to download it.
