Conflict & Bridge-Building Tools for Animal Advocates
Animal Justice Academy Lunchtime Live
with Kimberly Carroll
12pm - 1pm

Conflict has been cited as one of the top reasons for animal advocate burnout.

This isn't surprising considering we're getting it from all sides... Most of the population disagrees with our ideology (and some very vehemently), there seems to be endless movement infighting, and we even face opposition from our friends and family!

If handled skillfully, though, conflict can actually become an opportunity for bridge-building and bringing so many more people into this circle of compassion for animals.

In this Animal Justice Academy workshop, our Director Kimberly Carroll puts on her coach for changemakers hat to teach you mindset shifts and tangible tools to help move you out of the destructive states of righteous indignation, shame, judgement, fear, and reactiveness that conflict can cause.

You'll then learn how to use friction as a starting point to create deeper levels of understanding and connection with potential allies… and within yourself.
