How to turn a conflict into a connection | Ipsita Das | TEDxIPSA Indore
What if the fights you dread could become the catalyst for deeper love?
In this talk, Ipsita Das flips the script on conflict, arguing that how we fight—not the fight itself—determines the fate of our relationships.
When a heated call with her partner left them both hurt (“I hung up for comfort; he felt dismissed”), they chose to revisit the clash with curiosity over blame, transforming anger into empathy.
Ipsita’s “Conflict to Connection” framework reveals how to reframe arguments as tools to uncover hidden needs, prioritize listening over winning, and repair ruptures by choosing “we over me.” “Avoidance is the real enemy,” she insists. “Every fight is a chance to say, ‘This matters enough to fight for.’” A must-watch for anyone ready to trade surface harmony for transformative honesty. Ipsita Das, a S.Q.A-NABET Certified Coach, educator, and mentor dedicated to helping individuals unlock their full potential.
