Coach finds purpose in teaching how to resolve conflict | Conflict Resolutionary with Kristine Scott

Some seek to understand conflict and conflict resolution through observation and studying the topics. Others are not as fortunate to keep it at a safe distance and apply the scientific method. Our guest, Kristine Scott shares what she’s learned about conflict resolution from her firsthand experience, first while growing up in a house with a lot of conflict, then in her early career learning from youth living on the streets who had to learn conflict resolution skills to survive. What Kristine has learned, however, is not only a set of techniques to resolve conflict, but she shares a perspective shift away from threat reduction and towards empathy and compassion towards someone who is hurting and who is searching for help.In this episode, Kristine answers the following questions:·        What is conflict resolution? What is a Conflict Resolutionary? ·        What are the principles of conflict resolution? ·        What are the ways to resolve conflict?·        What skills are required to resolve conflict?My favorite quote from the episode: “Conflict is someone entrusting you with their unmet need.”   What I know to be true about the episode: Kristine’s partial lived experience is the application of studying brights spots to get better at conflict resolution, maybe not a path one would chose, but definitely gaining a lot from those experiences, and having the courage to share those learnings with us.   What I learned from the episode: The perspective-shifting approach to conflict resolution, focused on managing our own resources and reactions so we can appropriately attend to the needs of the person who is bringing the conflict. Inspiration: Lama Rod Owens: https://www.lamarod.com/Book: “Good Morning, Monster: A Therapist Shares Five Heroic Stories of Emotional Recovery" by Catherine Gildiner” by https://bookshop.org/p/books/good-morning-monster-a-therapist-shares-five-heroic-stories-of-emotional-recovery/18839158?ean=9781250878335Book: “Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment: A Developmental Strategy to Liberate Everyone” by Leticia Nieto https://beyondinclusionbeyondempowerment.com/about-the-book/Kristine’s company, Seattle Conflict Resolution, web site: https://www.seattleconflictresolution.com/ If you like the conversation, please share this episode with one other person.
