Conflict Coaching
Conflict
We all experience conflict. Problems arise when a conflict or upset is not resolved at an early stage and it festers and grows. Time spent thinking about a conflict that does not involve taking constructive steps towards resolving the conflict or letting go of the grievance is disempowering and a drain on your energy.
Conflict Coaching
Many people find conflict challenging for various reasons. Some prefer to avoid conflict as a result. This could be due to a lack of confidence; anxiety in the face of conflict; an inability to express anger constructively; or a difficulty in saying “No”.
Conflict coaching can help you to overcome these obstacles and to become more comfortable asserting yourself and in dealing with conflict.
Conflict in the Work Place
For businesses, the human cost is not the only cost to consider. Costs also arise in terms of the money, time and person power spent dealing with conflict and the issues arising out of it.
Yet despite the amount of time we spend on disagreements and disputes, many of us do not know how to constructively and confidently engage with conflict. This is where a conflict coach can help.
Take Control
With conflict coaching you gain clarity and an understanding of the dynamics of the conflict. You identify the choices you could have made to address the issues more effectively and decide upon a strategy for dealing with the conflict situation. The insights and understanding that you gain will increase your capacity to manage future conflicts more effectively.

Handling conflict successfully involves stepping into your power and being clear about what you want to say and comfortable about saying it. It means respecting everyone’s boundaries, especially your own. And it means pausing to reflect before deciding what you want to say and how you want to say it.
