Don’t get conned by conflict. Fewer angry conflicts mean fewer things to “get over.” So how can we avoid the damage of conflict, but still address issues of concern?
Scarlett Lunning Huey, a respected consultant in conflict mediation, has one of the answers.
She suggests asking ourselves, “are you approaching a conflict believing that the other person is a jerk or that he/she is someone like you who simply has a need different from yours?”
Her question gives us a powerful tool for approaching difficult conversations.
Try it.
