More than $350 billion is lost each year in the United States because of unresolved conflicts.

When we ignore conflict, it doesn’t go away. It gets worse.  

The impact is reduced productivity, higher turnover, and toxic workplaces. 

Let’s unlock your conflict-solving superpowers.

My name is Leslie Nydick, The Conflict Strategist.


If you struggle with:

> Feeling anxious about difficult conversations

> Avoiding conflicts with your colleagues

> Being managed by a micromanager

> Hesitating to negotiate about work, deadlines, and more.

THEN count on me to help you reframe your communication.


How? I will be your guide to reimagine conflict, negotiations & communication. 

I empower you to build a framework for success with proven strategies and techniques.


Why me? 

I was stuck in conflict, every day.

I was bombarded with:

> A never-ending flow of demands from internal clients

> Complaints about shared spaces

> Emails that sounded like people were upset with me.


What was I doing? 

I was leading real estate, design & construction in all types of industries: financial, education, publishing, entertainment, & government. 

There was something in common: CONFLICT.

There were a lot of attempts, mistakes AND finally, the wins. 

I cracked the code for managing conflicts, and I want to share it with you.

> Facilitating or Coaching: I will lead you to a new framework of communication & resolution. 

> Customized Learning & Bootcamps: be proactive before your team is stuck in conflict, or if they are struggling with a pattern of conflict.


The results:

> Increased Productivity: Up to 50% of our time is spent managing conflict. Trade those hours to refocus on core responsibilities.

> Happier Workplaces: Unmanaged conflict results in toxic workplaces. When conflict is managed, relationships grow, people are happier at work, and they want to stay.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My goal is to achieve the highest level of personal and professional growth while prioritizing work-life balance, team spirit and integrity.

As evidenced, I have acquired over 30 years of experience in the Group Insurance industry. I began as a Health and Dental Claims Adjuster, Customer Service and proceeded to Group Underwriting. I have worked in the Carrier, Brokerage and Third Party Administration dynamic. 

In the past 2 years, I began my passion project - Advocacy for Survivors of Domestic Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence. I work with Shelters and organizations as well as Survivors to raise awareness and secure funding as needed. I believe that we can Be Impactful and Be The Change.
