“In order to grow, we have to shed
certain layers of ourselves that aren’t
serving us or others and just let it
go. Don’t hold on to it. Whether it’s a
positive or negative belief, if there’s
some sort of block happening, it’s an
opportunity to learn, grow, and become a
better version of yourself.”
—Kristin Worley
to be as transparent as possible with the team,
even doing livestreams on their team pages. “We
were really open about our issues, and it created a
space for others to feel safe. Afterward, there was
a huge outpouring of love, excitement, and relief
from so many people on our team.”
Immediately after Kristin and her friend began
working things out, they were ready to go. “We had
been waiting for this forever,” she says. They came
together and built a community where everyone
feels safe to talk about their struggles and issues.
“Keep it positive and don’t allow negative chatter to
even enter into the arena. Check that at the door,
squash it, and focus on what really matters,” Kristin
explains. “Because what really matters is lifting
people up and supporting them where they are.”
Resolving Team Confl ict
Be open to hearing the good and the bad.
Even if 98 percent of what you’re doing is
awesome, that 2 percent could be causing
problems for your team. You have to hear that
2 percent with an open mind.
Give the other person space to be vulnerable.
Creating an open space helps everyone talk about
things that are hard. Once we shed our armor, we
can be gentle with each other and grow.
Be honest with yourself. It’s easy to think others
did something wrong and not ourselves. This
seems to be a protective instinct, one that comes
from fear of being hurt. I’ve learned that it’s
important to be vulnerable and to let go of that.
Don’t give up. Working through confl ict is a
process. I wish I could say it only takes one call
for the confl ict to be resolved, but it doesn’t. It
takes signifi cant time and eff ort.
