Okay…. So i attended a conflict management workshop this year and I had an aha moment.. I want to share that moment with you.
As a human being who tends to push against the norm (sometimes) and is very passionate (easy to tease), I find myself dealing with conflict often– in both my professional and personal life.
It is how we interpret conflict (understand it) that matters.
Did you know that over 70% of conflicts are due to “facts and data”? Over 70% of conflicts wouldnt occur if we had all the facts and data on the table. How crazy is that?!
Conflict resolution 101.
Know the facts (and not just your facts)
Be a curious george… Ask questions to learn the facts.
Go into situations with an open mind.
Trust me. It works. And there will be less conflict in your world. It worked for me.
I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus!
