Initially inspired by his own struggles with conflict, consultant and USU lecturer Clair Canfield is committed to changing the way people think and feel about conflict. He says, “Conflict holds up a mirror to our deepest needs and most cherished hopes and it is the doorway of opportunity for creating the change we want in our lives,” and “It is common to feel trapped and stuck when we experience conflict, but there is a way out!” His recent TEDxUSU talk is titled “The Beauty of Conflict.”
Clair Canfield is a consultant and lecturer in the Department of Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies at Utah State University with degrees in Communication Studies and a graduate certification in alternative dispute resolution.
