Conscious Conflict

Embracing conflict for transformation.

Conscious Coaching

The stress of conflict can be exhausting, especially when it’s persistent with no end in sight. But one-to-one coaching can help you in relieving that worry by resolving or transforming the conflict, and building relationships you want to sustain. Sessions can be proactive or responsive.

Private, Confidential One-to-One Coaching

  • Stuck in a conflict at work or with your neighbor?

  • Talking politics with your relatives

  • Preparing for a tough conversation

  • Having repeat arguments with your partner?

Conscious Courses

Customized Conscious Conflict & Restorative Practices courses for your students, employees, volunteers, or congregants. Learning conflict prevention and management can be life-giving for the participants and cost-saving for your organization.

Learning Conscious Conflict & Restorative Practices in person or virtually

  • Groups learn basic techniques of managing conflict

  • Departments learn how to work together and maintain right relationships

  • Practice ways to resolve/transform conflicts in your church or non-profit

  • Schools and colleges — courses for your students or methods to prevent and approach conflict

Facilitation and Consensus-Building

When the harm or hurt just needs to stop, or operations are stalled and relationships are at a stalemate, a neutral third party can mediate or facilitate with you and the other party. This could be in various forms like informal conversations, dyads and small group discussions, formal dialogues with rules of engagement, or listening or restorative circles.

Group Facilitation Sessions

  • An outside facilitator during a conflict or debrief

  • Mediation to come to an agreement

  • When your project team can’t get to a consensus with a plan

  • Need help moving on from an old conflict?

Assessment and Strategic Consulting

When organizational conflict gets complicated or stops you in your tracks, it may be time for a Conflict Assessment to help you move through the complex layers of conflict. You will receive strategic recommendations for transforming systems or processes for preventing conflict in the future.

Conflict Assessment & Recommendations

  • When HR is at their wits’ end with employee complaints

  • Is productivity down with persistent conflicts?

  • Your staff still not getting along?

  • Find the root of the conflict, solve current issues now, and prevent them in the future

Conflict Check-Ups

This is a review of your written and unwritten policies and procedures of how you approach and address conflict organizationally. Every audit comes with recommendations for improving your conflict processes to maintain meaningful relationships.

Preventing & Transforming with Audits & Reviews

  • In the workplace, this would be an audit of your employee handbook, HR materials, and assessing your accepted norms in praxis. Use processes and language that help prevent and manage conflict effectively.

  • For a family or small group, this is looking at how you manage (or incite) conflict, your group rituals, and power dynamics within your relationships. Find ways to equalize relationships and conversations.

  • In a non-profit or church, this includes mission-driven, values-based recommendations. Align your practices with your principles.
