The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict

Priya Parker - Author, Facilitator, Speaker & Advisor

We have been a little (a lot) obsessed with Priya Parker for the last two years, so having her join Suite Escape feels like a dream come true.

You may know Priya from her New York Times best selling book, The Art of Gathering, or from the New York Times podcast Together Apart. Her new book, The Art of Fighting, comes out in September and it is about something most of us could use a little help with: how to have the hard conversations without making everything worse.

Because women are often very good at keeping the peace. We let things go. We say “it’s fine” when it is not. We replay a conversation in our heads instead of having it.

Priya will talk with us about what it looks like to fight better: how to say the thing, hear the thing back, figure out what you are actually fighting about, and know when to engage and when bite your tongue.

Priya Parker is a conflict facilitator and strategic advisor who studied organizational design at M.I.T., public policy at Harvard Kennedy School, and political and social thought at the University of Virginia.

We are not usually ones to brag, but this digital event is a very big deal.

Join Suite Escape on Zoom November 13th. Your Thanksgiving table will thank you.
