What is Conflict Coaching?
Conflict coaching is a one-on-one session intended to assist and empower individuals to positively address specific conflicts and gain skills and tools to engage in, manage or productively resolve conflict.
 

Conflict Coaching 101 is an intensive, two-day introduction to the principles of conflict coaching during which participants will learn to apply their current conflict resolution and mediation skills in a one-on-one situation. In addition, participants will gain new insights to this unique approach and have opportunities to practice and apply them, including affirmatively recognizing and acknowledging cultural differences, power imbalances, and any other factors that may be affecting the situation.

 

Conflict coaching may be used in both personal and workplace settings when conflict arises. It is a dynamic and versatile discipline for everyone and will add a valuable conflict resolution skill set to each participant’s repertoire including, but not limited to, professional mediators, social workers, school counselors, marriage and family therapists, and HR personnel.


In Conflict Coaching 101, participants will learn to help those with a conflict to:
  • Identify their own personal needs and interests concerning the situation.
  • Recognize the personal needs and interests of the others involved in the situation in order to gain a broader perspective.
  • Acknowledge cultural differences and power imbalances.
  • Employ effective communication and active listening techniques.
  • Brainstorm possible solutions and ways to address the needs and interests identified.
  • Evaluate and create criteria for selecting possible solutions and identify next steps.
