This professional development session is grounded primarily in The Art of Coaching Teams by Elena Aguilar, which emphasizes psychological safety, emotional intelligence, and coaching stances as essential conditions for productive team conflict. It also integrates research-informed strategies from Crucial Conversations, Dare to Lead, and Nonviolent Communication to support high-stakes dialogue, vulnerability-based leadership, and needs-centered communication.
