23 Mar The Reframing Strategy
Have you ever experienced a BETTER outcome BECAUSE OF (not in spite of) conflict?
One of my favorite strategies I use to make hard conversations much easier is REFRAMING.
Instead of seeing conflict as something to avoid … let’s choose to see it as something to embrace. As Dana Casperson says, “conflict is a place of possibility.” You can watch her entire TED Talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfQeH3092Sc
The next time you find yourself faced with a hard conversation, remember:
– See it as an opportunity to create something better
– Remain insanely curious
– Listen for what the other person really needs
– Pay attention to what is going on inside of you
– Remember – you’re the one making it hard
