I understand that the principles I use are not necessarily that of the person I may not agree with.

Yes @Former-Member and @Shaz51 you both raise some really good strategies here.

So just to sum up our discussion for tonight, some of the skills/strategies we have spoken about that can be helpful in managing conflict are:

  • Discussing one issue at a time
  • Being specific about the issue
  • Knowing when to take a break from the discussion and returning to it at a later time
  • Using assertive communication skills
  • Validate the other person's feelings and experience
  • Look after yourself-both during the conflict and after as necessary

Thank you @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @Hank, @Anony18, @Kurra, @Mazarita, and @soul for joining me tonight. I hope tonight has been a helpful discussion and there is something that you can take away from the night.

Good night everyone
