Let’s be real, conflict is everywhere in early childhood settings. Silent tension in the staff room. Passive-aggressive side comments. That one team member everyone avoids. And somehow, you’re meant to keep the peace and hold the team together.

But avoiding conflict doesn’t protect your culture. It erodes it.

This session cuts through the noise and gives you what most leadership training avoids: a real, practical approach to dealing with team tension, early, clearly, and without the emotional hangover.

You’ll learn how to:

• Step into hard conversations without freezing up
• Name what’s really going on, without making it personal
• Set boundaries, reset dynamics, and lead from calm

You’ll unpack what drives conflict in early learning environments, like status games, power imbalances, and unspoken resentment and get tools to handle it before it festers.

This isn’t about being confrontational. It’s about being clear. And brave.

If you’re tired of circling around the problem, this is your invitation to do something about it.

Lead with clarity. Not fear.
