Transforming Conflict with Fierce Civility – Webinar with Joe Weston
Transforming Conflict with Fierce Civility is the focus of this engaging webinar hosted by RisorseUmane HR, featuring international facilitator, author, and peace advocate Joe Weston. Known for his innovative approach to conflict resolution, leadership, and personal empowerment, Weston introduces viewers to his philosophy of “Fierce Civility”—a transformative framework that blends courage and empathy to navigate tension and disagreement constructively.
The conversation includes guest speaker Alessandro Bruni, a renowned Italian business consultant and professor at the University of Pisa. Together, they explore how unresolved conflict can stifle leadership and communication, and how adopting a more conscious, embodied approach—rooted in respect and assertiveness—can foster healthier work and community dynamics.
Key Concepts Covered in the Webinar:
- Why conflict avoidance increases stress, inefficiency, and disconnection
- How “Fierce Civility” offers a method for courageous, clear, and respectful dialogue
- Techniques drawn from neuroscience, martial arts like Tai Chi, and mindful communication
- The importance of emotional regulation and body awareness in leadership
- Real-world examples from both the U.S. and Italian corporate and social sectors
Weston emphasizes that conflict is not the enemy—in fact, it is a natural and necessary part of growth. What matters is how we respond. With more than three decades of experience, Weston offers tools that help individuals and organizations build resilience and improve leadership through conflict transformation.
This webinar is inspired by Weston’s Italian-language book, Gentilezza Impetuosa: dal conflitto al confronto, published by Franco Angeli. The book’s title translates to “Fierce Civility: From Conflict to Connection” and offers a global roadmap for individuals seeking to lead with authenticity, strength, and openness.
Whether you’re a manager seeking better team dynamics, a coach looking for new communication frameworks, or someone personally affected by conflict, this webinar offers insights that can shift your mindset and transform your approach to daily challenges.
