Imagine if 50% of the time you are forced to invest in debating, arguing, convincing people, is eliminated… what would it mean for you? What can you do with the time saved? What new creative, fun or learning activities can you include? What would happen to the quality of your Life?
What if we learn to deal with potentially explosive situations more INTELLIGENTLY, in a more RESPONSIVE not REACTIVE manner? Better still, rather than get anxious, agitated, angry, depressed when conflicts happen- what if we can PREVENT it from occurring in the first place?
CONFLICTS are INEVITABLE. But prevention is possible. COLLABORATION is possible.
But then, why are schools, colleges unable to wipe out Conflicts? Why is the world mostly in conflict, with some pockets doing great collaboration. Shouldn’t it be the other way round?
WHAT COMES IN THE WAY?
Conflicts have existed for thousands of years in the past and probably will continue to exist in future, because no school or college across the planet teaches us about the neuroscience involved. If we are operating in ignorance, how can we prevent conflicts?
Today, I know why conflicts happen. I know the root cause!! I know what comes in the way. I want to share this information with you and will encourage you to share this forward with as many people as you can. Your friends, family colleagues, kids in the family, everyone. Please share and help make this world a better place.
WHY 'PREVENT' CONFLICTS?
Conflict and Collaboration are at the opposite ends of a continuum. We are often trained to 'Manage' conflicts!
Managing conflicts may or may not lead to collaboration. Remember if a conflict happens, the damage has been done. Yes you can salvage, but it’s going to be a long road to winning back collaboration. Therefore it is best to PREVENT, and this Is the keyword: "PREVENT” conflicts!
Secondly, because, normally in conflict, both parties lose. If a conflict happens, It’s already too late. The consequence of a conflict mostly is lose-lose. While the expectation is win–lose, a win–lose scenario is extremely rare and hence foolish to aim for. That would be akin to winning a lottery. The course therefore recommends a much more effective option, which is to 'prevent' the occurrence of a conflict all together. And there is a scientific way on how you can do that. Think about it, what would you prefer? To manage a conflict, Or not end up in a conflict in the first place?
If you understand the wisdom and you opt for the latter, this course is for you.
HOW?
Neuroscience is helping us uncover the role these two parts in our brain play in conflict/collaboration.
Learning how these two parts in the human brain works, goes a long way in Prevention. Identifying and diffusing potentially explosive situations well in advance. Before it is too late. That’s half the battle won. This simple awareness of what these parts do, is enough to put us in a strong position to Prevent Conflicts.
Once armed with this information, you can use the Tools shared in this course to create an awesome life for yourself. One, where you become the go-to person for others. The dependable leader, who is able to foster collaboration, build strong teams, networks at your workplace and in your life.
