Western systems of #disputeresolution built on models of combat as the best means of resolving differences don't serve us today. We can do better.

"People in #conflict think they are enemies, but they may be the only two people in the world who care deeply about the same issue"

A mark of emotional maturity is hearing disagreement without taking offense.
Thoughtful dissent doesn't always mean you're wrong. It often means the issue is complex and your knowledge is incomplete.
Good-faith debate isn't an attack. It's an opportunity to sharpen your ideas.

#Conflict is tough for all of us. And conflict with a person with higher positional authority can feel overwhelming. Gaining #perspective and clarity is still possible to avoid conflict paralysis. Here are some tips on how do it. capture.dropbox.com/aVnuctTL…

Today is the 13th anniversary of the Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011, and the Fukushima nuclear disaster that followed. Being stationed in Northern Japan that day and for the hard months that followed taught me so much about #resilience and #collaboration in crisis.

Substitute "work/education/volunteering" for "dating" and "colleague" for "partner" and you have in a nutshell why so many organizations find that #ombuds programs improve engagement and equity for their organizations.

In dating, most people focus on expressing themselves. But the most attractive partners express a desire to get to know you.
It's good to be interesting. It's better to be interested.
We gravitate toward people who want to understand us. Feeling seen is core to feeling loved.

Managing #conflict through #collaboration is part of @csuci 's #conflictcompetence culture. In this episode of "Channel Our Potential," I speak with student conduct director Dani Rae about diverse #teams and professional growth.

The gift of a truly "non-judgmental space" where it is safe to consider hard questions is the "magic" of organizational #ombuds
