THE 4 TIPS |
|
1. STAY IN THE NOW
- Be present to the real issues of the current conflict.
- Let go of old thoughts or hurt feelings about conflicts with that person.
Your new tool (click here for the Filter Conspiracy) can now give you a better understanding of why that past conflict may not have been successfully resolved.
2. BE SELECTIVE. Not every disagreement is a conflict. I am defining conflict as a situation in which the parties involved perceive a threat to their needs, interests, or concerns.
3. TIME OUT. Not all conflict can be resolved in one setting. You may need to take a break, disengage or seek some third party help.
4. BE POSITIVE. View the conflict as a new opportunity for your personal growth and for a possible resolution of the issue.

| EXERCISE |
|
This week I invite you to observe any situation where there is a conflict with another person.
1. Did you stay in the present?
2. Was it just a situation or a conflict?
3. Was it appropriate to take a time out?
4. Did you experience any personal growth or a resolution of the issue?
I look forward to hearing from you.
While these four tips are simple, they are not easy. As a business and life coach, I have the skills to teach people how to manage and grow from conflict. If you would like to discuss this, I am available. Invest in yourself. You are worth it!
