5 Getting Past No: Don't Escalate: Use Power to Educate

Let's Talk About Conflict

I would love to hear from you ~ Lynne

In the final episode of "Let's Talk About Conflict," 5 part series, we explore the power of education in difficult conversations, drawing from the wisdom of William Ury's book Getting Past No.
This episode is packed with practical advice on how to turn potential conflict into an opportunity for mutual understanding. Instead of escalating tension, learn how to ask thought-provoking questions like, "What do you think will happen if this doesn’t work out?"
Avoid threats; instead, offer gentle warnings when necessary.
We also discuss the value of involving a neutral third party or ally, and why it's crucial to let the other party make their own decisions.
Contrary to popular belief, stepping back just as the other side comes around can lead to a true win/win outcome.
Remember, power plays rarely end well, but collaboration and understanding can lead to lasting solutions.

Don’t miss this final installment, and be sure to revisit the previous episodes for more insights from Ury's transformative approach to conflict resolution.
