Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Categories:Dr. Conte is well-known for saying that there are two kinds of people in the world: People with issues and, well, dead people. So that means if you’re alive, you have issues. But that’s okay, because so does Dr. Conte, and so does everyone else on the planet. When issues collide, however, conflict arises, and in an increasingly volatile world, conflict can readily escalate to violence; that is why, more than ever, understanding how to genuinely handle conflict is one of the most important skills any of us can learn. Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Conte created Yield Theory, now an evidence-based approach to communication and de-escalation, and he has spent his career dedicated to helping people handle conflict (both others’ and their own). In this lively, dynamic and quite frankly life-changing presentation, Dr. Conte will draw on his masterful storytelling and wildly unique and interesting experiences to share how you can walk away with hands-on techniques that you will be able to immediately integrate in your life.
We all have times in our personal and professional relationships when we’re disappointed in the way people interact with us or treat us. Times when the reality of a situation doesn’t align with the version or outcome we expected, and that’s very frustrating. Unfortunately, many of these cases occur when we have unknowingly handed over the power we have within us to manage our emotions and fail to align our expectations with reality. In this enlightening presentation, Dr. Conte shows how we can use that power we all have within us to build strong relationships, smooth over conflict and maintain a sense of self-worth.
How you talk to people can be even more important than what you’re saying. Putting your own need to be heard on hold while you connect with and validate the other person is the key to efficient and productive communication. Learning the simple techniques in this presentation will help remove your frustration with your relationships and make it much more likely that others will be eager to hear what you have to say.
Using a compelling set of tools and exercises designed to promote better social interactions, Leading with Compassion provides a radical shift in how we deal with others. Peppered with amusing and compelling anecdotes, this presentation touches on topics crucial to any business or social relationship, including conflict resolution, compassionate communication, attachment to ideas, and the most effective ways to motivate others.
Last year there were one trillionphotos taken by more than 2.5 million cell phone cameras. More than ever before, the moments in our lives, good or bad, are preserved forever. We need to realize that any moment can define who we are to our loved ones, our co-workers, or to the world at large. But thinking through our actions means much more than just not getting caught by a camera. In this fascinating presentation, Dr. Conte leads his audience in a thought experiment designed to promote consciousness of our actions and building character, while distinguishing ourselves and our place in the world.
“In life, when you know you’re right, it doesn’t matter what everybody else is doing…you do what you know is right! You say what you know is right!” We’ve all seen it and experienced it – those times when fading into the crowd is the easier choice – when doing the right thing or standing alone with confidence in our answers and convictions feels daunting. Being authentic even when those around you aren’t is one of life’s greatest challenges, and also one if its greatest rewards. At a time when there is more pressure than ever to follow the crowd, Dr. Conte’s powerful presentation helps us tap into our confidence, our convictions, and overcome the pressures that promote complacency and indecision.
