Changing the Way We Think about Conflict

"Out of Adversity Comes Opportunity" ~ Dr. Debra Dupree

Dr. D gained firsthand insight into the destructive consequences of unresolved conflict, growing up in a family of nine siblings within a family-owned business.

The opportunities were rich for generational- and gender-divides, unspoken communication and unresolved differences, unmanaged emotional reactions, that often led to damaged relationships and broken hearts. These early experiences led to astute observational and listening skills, cultivating a passion for understanding the dynamics behind human behavior and making a difference in the lives of others. 

Driven by this profound passion for influencing the human condition in positive directions, she’s dedicated to igniting the fire and sparking the imaginations of leaders and followers in all walks of life in navigating with peace and harmony through challenging confrontations for meaningful conversations and connections.
