On April 23, 2025, USPAACC WISE hosted the highly anticipated webinar, “Creating Connection Through Conflict,” led by the incredible Sabrina Alexis Sayoc. With 74 registrants and a strong turnout of engaged attendees, the session tackled one of the most important yet overlooked skills in professional and personal success: navigating difficult conversations with confidence and empathy.
Through a mix of practical strategies and real-world examples, participants learned how to:
- Communicate needs clearly and respectfully
- Manage conflict constructively
- Build stronger, more resilient relationships
- Reduce the stress and fear often associated with difficult conversations
This interactive session gave attendees the opportunity to learn techniques that foster connection, collaboration, and leadership growth.
