While organizing a children’s rights awareness session, I had a co-leader who strongly disagreed with my approach to engaging parents and local authorities. The disagreement created tension and slowed our planning. To handle the conflict, I first met with them privately to understand their perspective and concerns. I listened actively without interrupting and acknowledged the validity of their ideas. Then, we had a joint discussion where we focused on our shared goal—maximizing impact for the children. Together, we identified common ground, divided responsibilities according to our strengths, and agreed to trial both ideas on a smaller scale before finalizing the plan. The sessions were successful, reaching hundreds of children and parents. From this experience, I learned that collaboration requires empathy, open communication, and flexibility. Differences in opinion can be an asset when handled respectfully, leading to stronger solutions and a more cohesive team.
