Danielle Bayard Jackson joins us to discuss how being a high-achieving woman impacts our platonic relationships and the art and science of conflict versus connection. Danielle has dedicated the last six years of her career to studying the latest research about the science of these kinds of platonic female relationships.  There’s a massive blurring of lines between colleagues, friends from work, and friends outside of work; especially for high-achieving women who spend most of their time at work and therefore, naturally meet most of their friends in the workplace. So much of your identity rests in achievements and while that is praised by many people, often it’s detrimental to friendships. Many of you don’t know who you are outside of your professional goals and achievements and it’s imperative to figure out what more you have to offer in order to build meaningful friendships.  We’re chatting about: Having Different Friends for Different Purposes Making a Change to Your Friendships and Where Conflict Fits in How to Handle Healthy Conflict and Stay Connected in Friendship Tune in to hear about navigating platonic relationships and handling conflict!
