Resolving Conflict
I recently had a conflict with a close friend of mine. I asked her to help with a church program that I was unable to attend. I did all the behind the scene work and communicated with her throughout the process. She never said that she had a problem with helping but when it was time for to print the programs she came up with every excuse. This really made me mad and I have not really talked to her since. After this week's lesson I hope that the skills I have learned in conflict resolution will help me mend my friendship. The skills taught in the Third Side article may be effective her because I may need to look at it in a different way and hope to find a resolution so that our friendship can be saved.

Hi Shorlone,
ReplyDeleteThere is never only one method to solving problems and disputes. There are always different methods that can be applied in efforts to resolve our problems and disputes. We have to be open to trying these methods without expectations. Just because one method does not work does not mean that the situation is un-resolvable, it just means that we have to approach it from a different angle.
