What is Conflict Coaching?

Conflict coaching can help individuals that feel stuck.

It provides an opportunity for those in conflict, be it with a work colleague, family member, friend, or even within themselves, to explore their situation and ways in which they can move forward whilst remaining in control of their decisions. 

The conflict coach helps the client to discuss and reflect on the issues they are experiencing in order for them to understand their responses and themselves better. 

In questioning and potentially changing our usual responses, views or perspective on a given situation we help to support ourselves in dealing with a situation that we find unacceptable and cannot change.  We are not reliant on someone else to move  our life forward.

This confidential, client-led process, can help individuals to create new and more effective responses to their situation. 

My journey to discovering conflict coaching came from working as a mediator. 

We found as mediators that when 'one party' wanted mediation but the 'other party' would not engage in the mediation process it often left 'party one' feeling stuck, frustrated and powerless to resolve the issues. It's at this point conflict coaching can be really beneficial if offered, as a tool to help the client regain control of their life with or without the co-operation and input from the other party.
