In Episode 11 of our 24 podcasts in 24 hours marathon for International Podcast Day, Erica Saccoccio takes on a leadership skill every childcare director needs—conflict resolution.
Conflict is inevitable when people work closely together, but how you handle it determines whether your team grows stronger or falls apart. In this episode, Erica shares strategies for addressing conflict early, listening with empathy, and guiding conversations toward solutions instead of blame. You’ll learn how to defuse tension, set clear expectations, and create a culture where differences lead to growth, not drama.
