How Women Can Deal with Conflict Powerfully with Malika Williams

The more comfortable you are with conflict in real estate, the more unstoppable you become.  On today’s episode, we talk with Malika Williams, founder of The Center for Women’s Voice, about how women can communicate effectively and authentically without apologizing or overanalyzing. Malika has made it her mission to help women deal with conflict particularly in male dominated fields. We discuss with Malika how women can stop flying under the radar and contribute on the highest level, the importance of having a toolkit for handling different situations, and how to open yourself up to positive associations with conflict. Malika also shares with us The BREATHE Method which is a tool to help women work through misunderstandings.
