From Conflict to Collaboration: Hands-On Skills for Local Government Success

Conflict is an inevitable part of local government leadership - but it doesn't have to stand in the way of progress. Join Sarah Hannah-Spurlock, ICMA-CM, and Trina Pulliam for an engaging, interactive webinar designed to help local government professionals navigate difficult conversations, strengthen relationships, and turn conflict into opportunities for collaboration.

Participants will learn practical, real-world techniques for identifying the root causes of conflict, approaching contentious issues with empathy and neutrality, and facilitating productive dialogue among diverse stakeholders. Through hands-on examples and actionable strategies, you'll leave with tools you can immediately apply to build trust, improve community engagement, and lead more effective conversations within your organization and the communities you serve.

Whether you're managing internal team dynamics, engaging residents, or working through complex public issues, this session will provide valuable skills to help you lead with confidence and foster lasting collaboration.
