Karen Valencic, a leader in team development with a unique emphasis on conflict mastery influenced by Aikido, discusses the increasing importance of understanding and mastering workplace conflict for innovation and employee retention. Valencic critiques the traditional approach of managing conflict, arguing instead for leaders to foster an environment where healthy conflict is encouraged and skillfully navigated to tap into the creative and innovative potential of their teams. She highlights how approaching conflict with a mindset of curiosity and a goal-oriented perspective can turn it into a catalyst for collaboration and progress. Valencic's unique approach offers a fresh perspective on conflict resolution, emphasizing the development of conflict mastery skills among leaders as essential for the future of work. She can be found on her website, and Linkedin.

Revolutionizing conflict with creativity, how does one do that with grace? Karen Valencic, Mechanical engineer, and author of Spiral Impact, Aikido Master combines her experience with conflict resolution and leadership to offer a fresh view to transform the leadership journey. Karen loves the art of Aikido, a martial arts practice that began back in the early 1900s and is the truest form of martial arts. She takes us on a journey of how power moves with us rather than against us. Aikido mimics life through the movements of energy and creativity; struggle and fear keep us stuck, and differences between people, when: they don't see things your way or you are at an impasse.She speaks to the power of intention and knowing what it is you desire and the 3 levels to check in with: 1) Big picture 2)  Personal by honouring yourself and others 3)Immediate intent – what do you want now?She provides a great metaphor of how a hammer and nail are forced with short-term impact, whereas a screw and screwdriver provide expansion and longer-term effects. So many great examples of how Spiral Impact actually gains momentum. We discuss what conflict is and why so many avoid it like the plague. Conflict can be used in a very healthy way to build a creative tension or if not used properly will create a destructive tension. That destructive conflict pushes hard, fast, and long, the intention is typically to control, make wrong, or destroy. Whereas conflict mastery pushes just right for the people involved. The intention is to engage for positive outcomes and innovation.How do you handle conflict? In what ways do you practice either creative tension or destructive tension?You can read more about Karen's on her website at www.spiralimpact.com.  Wanting to better understand how you show up as a leader, visit us at www.wilempowered.com and take our free leadership quiz. #leadership #conflictmastery #difficultconversations #wilempowered #wiltalk

Sensei Karen Valencic is a Martial Arts practitioner, instructor, author, speaker, mechanical engineer, and personal coach. Notice where you're tense. Relax where your tension is. And it's like magic happens when you do that. A lot of times I hold tension in my calves of all places. It's really interesting because when you really let go of the tension, not only that you'll have an effect to your partner and yourself, you can actually feel your way more through the technique.

How do you handle conflict and why would it benefit you to embrace it? Today, author, speaker, black belt and engineer, Karen Valencic, re-frames conflict and confrontation and demonstrates how it is absolutely necessary for creativity and innovation to flourish.   Combining physics and martial art concepts, Karen's unique methodology called Spiral Impact, shifts the focus from force to power, so that individuals and teams grow through conflict, vs stifling progress by forcing their way through it. Using the analogy of a tornado, she goes on to explain how you can center yourself, developing the calm eye in the midst of the storm, so you can harness your power within. She also provides very practical exercises you can use yourself and with your team, in order to position yourself for greater collaboration and innovation.  A must-hear for any entrepreneur or business leader who desires to lead the field with a top-performing team. Key Takeaways 1) Conflict is not a mental thing; its solution is usually multi-dimensional within us. 2) Influence is often about getting people to agree with your point of view while collaboration is what leads to greater innovation and growth. 3) When conflict arises, instead of taking a position opposite the other party, learn to ask collaborative questions like, "How can we do this better?"  4) Oftentimes, when you get centered, your internal conflicts go away. 5) Be the screwdriver and the screw, vs the hammer and the nail. Favorite Quotes "If we don't have conflict, we're probably not living." "The difference between a spiral and a circle is that a spiral has intention. Where are you going?"
