Conflict – A Reality of Life
“Conflict begins at the moment of birth.” Jean Baker Miller, American Psychiatrist
As you know, conflict is a part of life. It begins in our childhood and on into our adulthood. We deal with conflict on a daily basis – whether it’s with our children, our spouse/partner, a family member, a friend, a co-worker, etc. It’s inevitable whenever we are involved in relationships – personal or professional. How do we deal with it constructively so we can mend our relationships and move forward?
Conflict coaching offers you assistance with managing conflict. Working with a conflict coach you examine how you view conflict, who you are in the conflict, and who holds the power in the conflict. Looking at these aspects of the conflict can give you a new perspective about how to deal with it and be in your relationship. The conflict coach can also help you determine how to approach the other person in an effort to resolve the differences between you. You learn about your communication style and examine what is working and not working for you. As you improve your communication skills, you are better able to talk with loved ones, friends, and business associates.
