In this inaugural episode of The Morning Commute, host Stephanie Michele Sweigart, MS, CCC-SLP, explores why conflict can feel so uncomfortable in school settings and why our reactions in tense moments are often more predictable than we realize. She introduces four common conflict response styles and helps you build awareness of your own default patterns so you can respond with more intention instead of reacting on autopilot.
You’ll also be introduced to practical, real-world conflict scripts designed specifically for school-based professionals. These customizable scripts support clearer boundaries, calmer conversations, and more confident communication without sounding robotic or sacrificing authenticity. This episode sets the foundation for the season ahead, offering tools you can use right away to navigate challenging conversations with clarity, care, and self-respect.
