Resolving Conflict in Diverse & Distributed Teams

Hosted by Akua Nyame-Mensah — Leadership & Culture Advisor

As teams become more global, cross-functional, and distributed, conflict is no longer just about personality; it’s about perspective. And in many organizations, the real challenge isn’t conflict itself, but how quickly it becomes avoided, personalized, or misunderstood.

This live Roundtable will explore how leaders can reframe conflict as a necessary and productive part of working across difference and not something to suppress.

We’ll talk about how to:

⫸ Reframe conflict as a signal of insight, not dysfunction

⫸ Navigate miscommunication across cultures and working styles

⫸ Lead conversations that maintain trust while addressing tension

With special guests:

⫸ Oluwatoyin Ademola — Chief Growth Officer, SkillSultants Nigeria

⫸ Faris Aranki — Founder & CEO, Shiageto Consulting

This 60-minute interactive session is designed for senior leaders, founders, people professionals, and team leads working across diverse and distributed teams.
