5 steps to help you have that difficult conversation

WHY TAKE THE TRAINING?

My experience studying conflicts and practicing conflict transformation for almost a decade, while helping individuals, groups, organizations, and communities transform their disagreements, tells me without a doubt that avoiding having those hard conversations is one of the most prevalent causes of prolonged conflict.

Here are reasons why you may find it extremely challenging having difficult conversations:

• Past unhealthy experiences: Every conversation you’ve ever had has gone south and badly that it’s hard to get excited about going through the process again.

• Lack of skills: You don’t know how to handle the conversation effectively because it has never been modeled to/for you.

• Uncertainty: You really don't know how the other person will react so you perceive the process as intimidating.

• Discomfort: You don’t know how to manage uncomfortable emotions—either yours or someone else’s feelings.

• Fear of abusing authority: You care too much about others and don’t want to harm them.

• Personality: You are laid back at initiating conversations and lack the courage to, due to your style.
