Are you tired of being stuck in workplace conflict that stops you from getting to your goals?
Are you asked to engage in a collaborative effort that affects the fundamentals of your work?
Part of the challenge of this collaboration is basic communication and the shared reality about the work to be done.
You truly want to be compassionate – treat yourself and the others well in conflict, but you don’t know how.
So your efforts are filled with confusion, you are feeling amygdala hijack, and your critical thinking is blocked.
You have a vision for your work and you truly believe that this organization is the place to actualize this work.
So you’ve tried these things to fix the situation:
- Having a 1:1 conversation with the person you are in conflict with
- Pointing out the contradictions you see at a team meeting
- Sharing the hurdles to your work with your manager in hopes that they will step into the situation
Yet nothing has changed and you are frustrated. If a head hunter called you right after another leadership meeting that went nowhere, you are tempted to leave.
However, you are unfortunately stuck in conflict in the workplace that is draining and adds uncertainty.
I believe that conflict is a portal to our power.
How we walk through conflict determines how much power we give up or we claim.
When I say power I don’t mean power at the expense of another.
Conflict is inherently constricting – it narrows down the field of possibilities for everyone. Hence the my way or the highway mentality.
Yet it is possible for everyone involved in the conflict to step more into their power and create different outcomes.
When we engage in conflict differently, we invite people to step into new roles and create new paths instead of the same old, same old outcomes.
Think this is too good to be true? I myself and my clients have walked through the portal of conflict in a different way that allowed us to step into our own power and get closer to our vision.
Principles of my work:
- The more you connect your mind to your animal body, the more you unblock your critical thinking skills and reduce anxiety.
- The more compassion you have for yourself and the other person in conflict, the more roles and pathways you create for people to contribute more effectively.
- The more micro adjustments you make via feedback and communication, the more trust you build which helps you get to your goals.
