CONFLICT COACHING
Conflict can be destructive and being unable to resolve matters can become very uncomfortable. Left unresolved, conflict can be stressful, causing sleeplessness and poor health. When you're involved in a difficult conflict it can be very difficult to think things through clearly and coaching can be an effective way of moving things forward.
A conflict coach will help you to explore what's happening for you and others and think about the situation more objectively. Identifying conflict styles and patterns of behaviour can help find ways to break the conflict cycle and pave the way to the possible steps that can be taken.
Conflict coaching can be used as a way to resolve a specific conflict or as a way for someone to improve their conflict style and feel more comfortable in challenging situations. Avoidance of conflict is fairly common and can result in escalation of difficult situations. Becoming more confident in conflict can be helpful for demonstrating assertiveness and can help in achieving other personal goals.
FAQ
WHAT DOES CONFLICT COACHING INVOLVE?
Conflict coaching takes place over a series of sessions. After each session, the coachee may leave with tasks to complete ready for the next session, designed to continue the progress outside of the coaching sessions.
A conflict coach helps people think through their current situation, offering support, while also challenging limiting assumptions and thought processes. The coachee will be supported to explore and evaluate available options and then construct plans to make progress with their aims.
