    You’ll learn:

    • Why avoiding conflict is more harmful than facing it

    • The 3-part formula for effective direct dialogue: Standards, Evidence, and Courage

    • How to act on the truth behind Alex Hormozi’s quote: “Confronting someone in the short term always beats resenting them in the long term for things left unsaid.”

    Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or striving for healthier relationships, this episode will equip you to speak up, lean into conflict, and lead with clarity.
