Join us for a conversation with Ken Sande, author of The Peacemaker, and Rich Douglass. We discuss practical ways to resolve conflict on teams and between individuals. Team conflict is one of the biggest reasons missionaries leave the field. Sooner or later, everyone faces it. This podcast will help prepare you to navigate the challenges of conflict.
Ken Sande is the founder of Peacemaker Ministries and RW360. Trained as an engineer, lawyer, and mediator, Ken has conciliated hundreds of family, business, church, and legal conflicts. He is the author of numerous articles and books, including The Peacemaker, which has sold over 500,000 copies in twenty languages. He teaches internationally on biblical peacemaking, Christian conciliation, and relational wisdom, which is an enhanced form of emotional intelligence that helps people “get upstream of conflict” by improving their ability to read and manage emotions in themselves and others. These resources are being used to strengthen relationships, promote teamwork and reduce and resolve conflict in churches, families, businesses, schools and military bases around the world. Ken is a Certified Emotional Intelligence Instructor with TalentSmartEQ and a Certified Relational Wisdom Conciliator, Coach, and Instructor.
