Embracing Conflict: Real-World Lessons from Retail, Restaurants, and RadioShack

Working in retail or the restaurant industry? Then you know—anyone can walk through that door. When I managed a RadioShack, our inside joke was: "If they can walk in, they will."

Dealing with the public teaches you resilience, fast thinking, and emotional intelligence—skills no book can fully prepare you for. In this episode, I share how applying principles from Aikido helped me navigate high-conflict situations with grace, leading to recognition from IBM and Governor Hunt.

This episode includes real stories from the frontlines and tips for keeping your cool under pressure. Want more? Explore my full “Embracing Conflict” training at martinbrossmanspeaks.com.
