• What is conflict & what are conflict resolution skills?

Conflict comes about from differences - in needs, values and motivations.  Sometimes through these differences we complement each other, but sometimes we will conflict.  Conflict is not a problem in itself - it is what we do with it that counts.

It is important that we do something because whether we like it or not, conflicts demand our energy.  In fact, an unresolved conflict can call on tremendous amounts of our attention.  We all know how exhausting an unresolved conflict can be.  It is not always easy to fix the problem but a great energy boost can come when we do.  Resolving conflict requires skills.  These are the skills that enable us to bypass personal differences and to open up to possibilities.  The skills of CR draw us closer to other people, as we jointly search for fair solutions and balanced needs.  It involves a powerful shift from adversaries to co-operative partners.  In this shift each person benefits.
