Conflict. The majority of people cringe and shudder at the thought of being put in a confrontational situation or having to address one. There may be a few people who thrive in conflict, but they are truly an exception. This doesn’t minimize the reality of conflict occurring. It’s unpredictable which makes working through conflict even more challenging.

There’s a story which says that when buffalo see a storm, they turn toward it as a herd and run through it to get it over with. On the other hand, cows facing a storm will try to outrun it and find themselves in a storm much longer.

So, let’s get together for the February HR Roundtable to discuss, ”How to Become a Buffalo When it Comes to Conflict !!”

We’re going to meet on Tuesday, 2/7/23 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks in the Annex next to the High School Cafeteria. (directions are below)

Being someone who’s learning to be a buffalo himself, I’m going to ask you to respond by emailing me at: sbrowne@larosas.com to let me know if you plan to attend in February. I hope you can make it !!

Thanks – Steve
