Have you ever experienced conflict and didn’t know how to resolve it? Have you ever made your own issues more insignificant than others?    So many of us attempt to avoid conflict by performing our way into acceptance or approval, yet when we actually come face to face with an issue, we realize that it’s rooted in a much deeper internal struggle.   Conflict begins within. Before we can address conflict resolution, we must first resolve the issues within our own hearts and minds. Avoiding conflict can cause more pain, but understanding conflict can bring us true peace.    Today’s guest is not only a Purpose To Platform and Command The Stage graduate, but she’s also on a mission to spread the message that the root of peace is identity.   Patrice Grimes is known as The Peace Curator, a Transformational Speaker, and is the Founder and CEO of The Oasis Space, LLC. A seasoned award winning HR professional, Patrice utilized her relationship building, coaching, and leadership skills in the corporate world to transition into a broader holistic approach that starts outside of the workplace. She now coaches and serves as a place of refuge for high achieving, "go-getter" women, and helps them to identify HEALTHY conflict resolution strategies while embracing their authentic identity to become successful P.E.A.C.E. Pursuits.   Patrice believes one of the major keys of conflict resolution is to ditch performance based complexes in exchange for embodying peace.
