Greetings!     

  

This May/June edition of our newsletter is, in part, dedicated to Mom - and all women.  You'll see our links to events honoring and supporting women below.   And Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing Mom's out there! 

 

As you may have noticed, we are continuing to grow and change!  First, you may have been contacted by my new assistant Daniel.  He's been busily contacting past clients, colleagues, and friends to touch base, update information and find out how we can stay involved and connected with you.  Please welcome his call. 

 

Second, after receiving multiple requests, we have begun a new column for our newsletter, tentatively called "Personal Matters".  This column will focus on aspects of conflict resolution for your personal life.  Topics will address relationships and communication with family, friends, loved ones, and will also cover situations with neighbors, and common acquaintances.  The topic of our first article is on ground-rules for communicating through disagreement.   If you have an idea you'd like me to address in a future edition, email me.

 

Finally, we are planning to unveil a new look to our newsletter this summer.  A new layout, new colors, more links and content.  If you like this newsletter, you're sure to love that one. 

 

All the best,

When is it Time to Intervene? 

 

Has conflict at work has left you wondering...    

Can the parties work it out themselves?

Can you as HR, the boss, a co-worker assist?

Is outside intervention your best option? 

 

Some conflict is normal.  And people who work together will periodically experience frustration and tension with their co-workers, colleagues, and partners.  But when things escalate, or simply persist - never reaching a point of resolution, it's time to take action. 

 

So the question becomes:  How do you know when the problems between two individuals (or a team) have gone too far?  How can you assess if it's time to intervene or bring in outside help?  And, what should you do if only one person deems the issue to be a problem?

PersonalMattersYou Never Listen to Me!

 

How do you get your point across when your spouse (or sibling, friend, parent) won't listen?  When it comes to having differences of opinion, it's often difficult to get those closest to us to listen and really hear what we are trying to say.Frustrated Woman

 

The reason being, when we know others well, we develop a short-hand with them.  This feels great when you don't need to explain yourself, and when your spouse (sibling, friend, etc.) seems to just "get" you.  But it feels lousy when you are on opposite sides of an issue, and they jump to conclusions, or won't even hear your argument on a subject.  What can you do?

 

It's very important to have ground rules for discussing difficult issues.  It provides both sides with a road map that promotes listening and understanding, while creating shared decision making and planning.  Here are some basic ground rules to try  Find out more
