    S2 Ep12: How Can CEO Functionality Improve? The Future of Exec. Coaching On Conflict & Leadership w/Ted Gerber
    Apr 23 2021
    Welcome another exciting episode of Connecting Bridges and Borders! Today's guest speaker comes from the realm of Executive Coaching and he brings his expertise on how to handle conflict and leadership situations within an organization. Please welcome Ted Gerber to the show! 
    Ted discusses the idea of incorporating the core concepts of mediation into how we handle business, in the sense of taking a step back and viewing a conflict as a third-party neutral. Having perspectives of both sides of the conflict can lead to new discoveries. Ted has also had experiences in coaching in the following topics: Leadership, Delegation, Empowerment, Negotiations, Influencing, Skills, Conflict Management, Strategic Thinking, Performance Feedback, and Building Teams.

    Leave a comment asking Ted what kinds of conflicts you may have faced in your organization and how did you handle it?
