Description
Hi my friend and a big welcome to this course on mastering your emotions during conflict.
Conflict is Inevitable
I want to begin by saying that conflict is an inevitable part of life. We know this. We come from different backgrounds, have distinct personalities, needs, values, perspectives, roles, goals and priorities, all of which set us up to experience disagreements if not outright conflict. So, the question is not whether or not we’ll experience conflict in our homes, communities or jobs. The question is how we’ll handle it.
What Determines How We Manage Conflict?
And here’s the premise of this course. The biggest factor that determines how well we handle conflict are our own emotional reactions. Conflict, by its very nature, triggers our emotions. Sometimes big emotions. Once triggered, it’s easy to act in ways that make things worse rather than better.
Some people, in the middle of conflict, go into an aggressive and fight mode, others run emotionally and resort to silence or appeasement, and still others distract and avoid. These tendencies are common and yet make conflict worse in the long run.
Purpose of the Course
So the purpose of this course is to give you the awareness and tools to calm and empower yourself so you can respond to conflict and difficult situations in positive and healthy ways. Let me be clear that my purpose in this course is not to teach you the steps of conflict resolution. I do that in my best-selling course entitled Become a Master at Conflict Management at Home or Work. Instead, I’m giving you strategies to manage your emotions so that you’re able to respond rather than react to those triggering situations. As you use these strategies, you've won the most important battle. You are now coming from a calm and empowered place and can enter into conversations in a way that allows you to talk things through or get to resolution.

My Professional Journey
In 1992, I co-founded the Center for Organizational Design and worked with worked with top Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T Capital, Coach Leatherware, The US Forest Service, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Merck Pharmaceuticals, Honeywell, Proctor & Gamble, and Hewlett Packard, as well as many small and medium-sized businesses.
We helped companies improve their leadership, clarify their business strategy, streamline their design (processes, structure and systems) and change corporate cultures by implementing high performance teams in which employees could “feel and act like partners in the business.”
Through the Center, my partner and I trained and certified over 1,500 trainers and consultants from around the world, providing them with access to our extensive library of over 70 leadership and team development modules. These programs have now been taught thousands of times, touching the lives of countless individuals across the globe.
Prior to consulting, I co-founded (with my father, the late C. Kay Allen) the Human Development Institute, where I spent a decade providing individual and marriage counseling. In addition, I also created and taught in-depth programs for the general public to help people move beyond limitations and lead more fulfilling lives.
