I work with individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and institutions to help transform conflicts using proven communication strategies I’ve mastered and practiced as an award-winning communication and conflict pracademic.
Conflict Coaching!
Every Conflict Has A Solution! This principle guides how I approach my work, whether it’s during coaching, mediation, or negotiation. While some conflicts may not appear as immediately resolved, the strategies implemented from an internal and underground level create solutions for the involved parties, eventually transforming the conflict.
My Method
The conflict coaching experience involves a one-on-one process where I engage with the direct party involved in the conflict. Here is a highlight of some of the principles that guide my approach:
I understand that some conflicts are relational because they often emerge from relationships with others. As such, and when needed, I consider the past and present conflict scenarios of the parties involved to design definitive plans for future actions.
I employ proven and applicable conflict and communication theories and research while analyzing the conflict to remain objective and free from possible biases. However, I stay aware of emotional responses and reactions.
I gather the necessary (detailed) information to analyze and understand the conflict while also considering the drivers and those who are central to the conflict.
I understand that the model of administering and intervening in the conflict transformation process is flexible and doesn’t always follow a fixed linear pattern, given the factors involved.
I operate from an understanding that conflict is a contingent activity with multiple perspectives. Given its complex ongoing dance, I examine the social, cultural, and contextual influences and view the conflict as a part of a more extensive conflict system.
The conflict coaching experience is efficient and ethical. I aim to foster empowerment and human connection through reflection and suggested courses of change or actions. I understand that client perspective is central to the coaching process because they have complete control and responsibility to consider perspectives, strategies, and skills to use outside the coaching session.
Conflict coaching is not appropriate for all cases. All other conflict transformation interventions and situations that do not require conflict coaching can be best discussed in consultation with me.
