#39 How to Have Conflict and Build Confidence in Your Child: Both are Possible Parenting Well Podcast

Hi! I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and today's Well Source is Karleen Savage.
Karleen is a sought-after speaker, trainer, hostage negotiator, and conflict resolution expert with a passion for fostering peaceful, harmonious environments. Through her Savage Theory of Resolution, she emphasizes the importance of communication and collaboration in order to achieve success. Through more than 15 years of professional experience, Karleen has learned that the conflicts we experience in business are usually a reflection of the conflicts happening at home. This belief inspired her to write her book The Confident Teen Blueprint.
