In this episode, Laura looks at why so many people are afraid to engage in difficult conversations, whether small issues at home or at work, or big issues in society like racism and unconscious bias, even when they truly want to be part of the solution. Listen in as Laura and her husband, attorney Larry DeMarco, share a special conflict-resolution process they created to use in their relationship and in business that you can put into practice today in any context in order to avoid being “conflict-clumsy” and develop the skills to handling sensitive discussions with leadership mastery.


Larry DeMarco, partner of DeMarco & DeMarco, P.C., has a general law practice with a focus on litigation and family law. He serves as a Judge pro-tem for the Court of Common Pleas Court system, is a volunteer academic fellow for the Pennsylvania Greater Father Family Involvement Campaign, and the founder of The Law Center, a YouTube channel with video resources for low-income family law litigants. He also founded PA Voter Information Network, an independent political news YouTube channel focusing on reducing the influence of money in politics.
