I'm thrilled to have [Guest] with us today, an expert in virtual team conflict resolution approaches. You've taught this subject for years, and now there's a certificate course on it. Can you tell us what inspired you to create the "Career Advancement Programme in Virtual Team Conflict Resolution Approaches"? GUEST: Absolutely! As remote work became more prevalent, I noticed a growing need for effective conflict resolution skills in virtual settings. I wanted to create a programme that would equip learners with practical strategies to manage conflicts and enhance team collaboration. HOST: Interesting. How does this course address the unique challenges that come with virtual team conflicts, as opposed to in-person conflicts?

Are there any current industry trends that you're seeing that make this course even more relevant today?
