Conflict ROI Architect: Navigating Dark Personalities, Intersectionality, and the Future of Human Work
Portland, Oregon
Conflict isn't just a communication breakdown; it’s a neural one. Most leaders treat conflict as an inevitable cost of doing business, but in reality, it’s a massive leak in your productivity. On average, every employee loses 2.8 hours per week navigating workplace friction. For a mid-sized team, that is hundreds of hours of paid time annually drained by everything from everyday misunderstandings and toxic personalities to the complexities of disability accommodations and the stress of adopting new technology. For owners and HR directors, that is a staggering amount of lost capital and human potential. As a 3x TEDx speaker and conflict resolution architect, I show organizations how to reclaim that time. My work is built on a proprietary neural framework: Processing (Neural) + Interpretation (Conflict) + Behavior (Resolution) By training teams to understand that processing is physiological and interpretation is where conflict takes hold, I provide a clear path to behavioral resolution that scales. Beyond standard skills training, I specialize in high-stakes intersections: from disability belonging and trauma-informed leadership to my specialized series on skillful termination and more. Backed by a track record of developing trainings that help businesses reduce costs and improve ROI, including speaking engagements at SHRM and SIOP, I am currently bridging the gap between human psychology and innovation. I am leading a team to develop an AI framework designed to dismantle systems of oppression and boost human effectiveness. My goal is simple: I transform those 2.8 hours of lost time and the stress it brings into skillful interactions that reduce costs, protect your culture, and produce an ROI that makes sense.

Born and raised in L.A. County, Eric Strong is a father, husband, and former U.S. Marine with 32 years of experience across four agencies. Eric has led in every corner of law enforcement — from patrol and custody to Internal Affairs, SWAT, community engagement, and juvenile justice — while pushing reforms that put accountability and human life first. Having lived through negative encounters with police and seen family struggle with addiction and mental health, Eric brings a perspective too often missing from law enforcement leadership. He has fought deputy gangs, revamped policies, trained officers in de-escalation, and worked to build trust between communities and those sworn to protect them. The Sheriff’s Department has long been a source of fear and corruption — but Eric believes it can be transformed into an engine of safety and justice. As Sheriff, he will dismantle deputy gangs, root out misconduct, and build a new department where every Angeleno — no matter their zip code — can feel safe, respected, and protected.
