SOLVING CONFLICT CREATIVELY

“We must become the change we seek”

                                                            -Gandhi

What comes to mind when you think of the word “conflict?”  Most of us think of negative words and experiences when we think of conflict.  The result is that we often do all we can to avoid conflict.  This is a problem because conflicts are everywhere.  To try to avoid conflicts is kind of like saying you are going to avoid people.  Sadly, those who don’t know how to handle conflict often end up having their life get smaller and smaller.  

The good news is that there is another way.  In the last few decades there has been a large amount of research that demonstrates that people can learn how to deal with conflicts in a positive way.  When they do, lots of good things begin to happen.  Families feel closer, marriages flourish, and work relationships are more productive.  The key is to learn the skills necessary to respond to conflict creatively.

I help individuals, families and organizations learn how to effectively handle conflict.  I would be happy to talk with you about how I could help you become better at conflict resolution so that you can achieve your goals.
