SUMMARY:[FAN] The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 11\, 2026\, | 12:00 PM CT (Note the earlier start time) \nThe Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict. A FAN webinar featuring Priya Parker\, in conversation with Daniel Pink (FAN ’18\, ’22). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/ParkerFANWebinar \nBook Giveaway: FAN is giving away copies of The Art of Fighting to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe have lost the skills of fighting well\, and with them the possibility of deeper connection. Our aversion to conflict\, Priya Parker argues\, is feeding our fragmentation and loneliness. Good groups are not the ones that never fight; all groups change and evolve\, and conflict is a vital engine of that renewal. \nIn The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict\, Parker follows her national bestseller The Art of Gathering with a practical\, deeply human framework\, this time for designing conflict with purpose. She dismantles the idea that conflict is abnormal or that healthy groups avoid it\, and shows instead that fights\, done well\, help communities flourish. \nDrawing on her far-reaching experience as a conflict facilitator\, her own research\, and real-world examples\, Parker describes how people can identify disputes\, address them\, and know what to do when they seem insurmountable. Whether in the boardroom or the locker room\, on a playground or in church\, online or in person\, conflict is part of life and understanding how to harness it well matters more than ever. \nAn internationally recognized expert on how we come together\, Parker trained in conflict resolution and has worked on race relations on American campuses and on peace processes around the world. \nParker will be in conversation with Daniel Pink (FAN ’18\, ’22)\, the author of seven bestselling nonfiction books ranging from human motivation and the science of timing to a graphic novel career guide. His deeply researched works have been translated into 46 languages and have sold more than five million copies worldwide. \nThis event is suitable for youth ages 12 and up. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \nSponsored by FAN\, in partnership with The Alliance for Early Childhood\, The Ancona School\, The Avery Coonley School\, Avoca D37\, Baker Demonstration School\, Beacon Academy\, Bennett Day School\, Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School\, Brickton Montessori School\, British International School of Chicago\, Catherine Cook School\, Compass Health Center\, Connections Health\, Countryside Day School\, Evanston Township HS D202\, The Family Institute at Northwestern University\, Family Service Center\, Foundation 65\, The Frances Xavier Warde School\, Francis W.
