We lawyers are so often involved in situations of conflict. Disputes arise from many directions. Sometimes we do not respond correctly, and it all goes downhill. But instead, we can navigate through differences with others in ways that produce positive, healthy, and peaceful outcomes.

Dr. Debra Dupree joins The Free Lawyer today. She is a high-conflict expert, dispute-resolution specialist, instructor, and author. She shows us today how to transform challenges into learning opportunities. In addition, she shares powerful insights about:

-Conflicts arise from a difference of perspective, not right and wrong

-The importance of mindfulness and self-awareness

-In a challenging situation, how to pause before responding, reflecting, and asking insightful questions to obtain more understanding

- How critical it is not to take things personally and to understand the other party's unpleasant approach is more often a reflection of what their issues

-Using deep breathing techniques to relieve stress
