Without using any words - Draw a picture of CONFLICT
When we think of Conflict………… • Anger • Frustrated • Fight • Argue • Anxious • Win/lose • Helpless • Unhappy • Confused • Exhausted • Uncomfortable • Hostile
If we think of Conflict as an opportunity, what are some words that come to mind?
Conflict as an Opportunity………… • Growth • Creativity • Improved relationships • Satisfaction • Understanding • Empathy • Expanded view • Solutions that last • Hope • Confidence • Inspiration • Gratifying
Position vs. Interest Position Non-negotiable Win/lose______ Interest What about that is important to you? What is the underlying need? Allows possibility for shared goals.
Non-anxious Presence (NAP) Family Systems Theory – Murry Bowen M. D. A non-anxious presence will modify the anxiety of everyone. To the extent that we can recognize and contain our own anxiety, then we function as step-down transformers, or perhaps circuit breakers.
We can either be…
CURIOUS
or RIGHT
We can either…
LEARN
or PROTECT
Listen to Understand Show you are Listening With a non-anxious presence, say what you heard. Notice FEELINGS and CONTENT Example: “It sounds like you feel worried because the cost of your health insurance may go up. ”
PRACTICE Find a partner - Decide who is ‘A’ and who is ‘B’ “You feel______ because_________”
FIVE STEPS TO CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION
#1 RESOLVE TO UPHOLD YOUR OWN AND OTHER’S DIGNITY
#2 MOVE TOWARD THE CONFLICT, SEEING IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY
#3 FOCUS ON INTERESTS INSTEAD OF POSITIONS
#4 WITH A NON-ANXIOUS PRESENCE, SHOW YOU ARE LISTENING… “You feel_______because______. ”
#5 CURIOUS or RIGHT LEARN or PROTECT
Act as an informal facilitator (it may help you to be less emotional about the topic) and guide conversations in a FAIR and EVENHANDED way – Upholding your own and other’s dignity.
