Here's the thing about employing the shame/blame dynamic duo. They don't solve the conflict. They don't analyze the problem. They don't help us to learn from our mistakes. They don't build trust. They will harm an organization in short order. They do nothing but make folks feel miserable and will crash any relationship.

Trust
What does all this have to do with conflict? Trust. In our relationships with others we are always either making deposits into or subtracting from the reservoir of trust. We humans aren't so different from our canine cousins in that regard. My months with Ohmi had contributed drop by drop to the trust reservoir. Yet one incident when I raised my voice and inadvertently harmed her, slight though it was, had taken us many steps backward.
Workplace Conflict
New Year's Resolutions–– Your Financial Situation
You can prevent financial conflicts by tracking your expenses and budgeting your income. We have financial conflict coaches to help you to sort out your situation. Many of our mediation conflicts are financially related, and our coaches can help you to put your life in order. We hold workshops to help, send us an email if you want to be on the list.
