You will rethink how the war metaphor, as a thought habit, has led to and sustains many of our greatest challenges. You will be invited to re-imagine the way you think, communicate and act through the alternative metaphor of improvisation. Based on the new metaphor, you will learn ways to think, communicate and act that will help you achieve the goals of this conference

Edree Allen-Agbro is the author of Lead Them Out of the Trenches: From Conflict to Collaboration with Ease. Her life purpose is to “tip the scales from human beings waging war against each other to working well with each other.” 
For more than 30 years, as graduate faculty in behavioral science, as a collaborative consultant and executive coach, Edree has guided thousands of leaders across industry and profession, to be more inclusive, collaborative and to transform conflict into innovative ways of solving world problems. 
Also, I studied other TEDx Talks titles and played with a few. I came up with these two variations.
