Welcome, I'm your host, Greg McEwan. I'm here with you on this journey to learn how to

make our highest point of contribution. Have you ever suppressed your feelings or honest

views at work because you wanted to avoid trouble? Have you ever avoided speaking up

with someone at work and instead unloaded to someone else about it? What if you could

to the show to help us. Amy is the author of the HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict and

also more recently getting along how to work with anyone even difficult people. She's also
