How to Resolve Conflict Through Clarity - EP075

How do you deal with misunderstandings?

Do you find yourself wishing you would have said something or worse, wishing you had said something else?

Do you shut down, zone out, and reach for the ice cream instead of moving through it and forward?

Sometimes a conversation makes us feel like our judgment is being questioned. Or maybe we’re having a discussion where we feel like we’re not being listened to, heard, or (my biggest pet peeve), feeling like we’re being dismissed.

We all have those triggers when we’re communicating with others that just seem to get under our skin and hang on long after we’ve said goodbye.

Sometimes, we try and brush the situation under the rug, thinking it’s best to just move on. But that technique for dealing with conflict can leave you feeling exhausted, reaching for the remote to watch something or mindlessly scrolling to zone out and put off work.

Conflict is a natural part of human relationships, but unresolved conflict can damage our relationships, leave us feeling powerless, and can even stunt our growth. 

So, what can you do to deal with conflict in a healthy, empowered way?

Today on Career Confessions, I’ll walk you through the process I use for addressing conflict that allows me to understand both myself and the other person better, leaving us both feeling more empowered.
