WHY ‘I'M RIGHT - YOU'RE WRONG’ prevents debate on important issues from moving on effectively

This video and podcast identifies how to move forward in debates that have become, or are at risk of becoming a stuck discussion. "WHY ‘I'M RIGHT - YOU'RE WRONG’ prevents debate on important issues from moving on effectively"  looks at the effect of using demonising 'labels' to describe people who we disagree with and how they represent the 'competitive approach' to conflict that never supports effective and useful conflict resolution that leads to learning, change and growth.   Here is the link to the YouTube video if you prefer to watch: https://youtu.be/foPAl1x5cWo Alan Sharland has been a Mediator and Conflict Coach for over 27 years working in a wide range of dispute situations including neighbour disputes, workplace disputes, complaints (NHS, Special Educational Needs, University Student), group disputes and others.  He was Director of a community mediation service in West London for 11 years and now runs CAOS Conflict Management. https://www.caos-conflict-management.co.uk  Connect with Alan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alansharland  Train in the CAOS Model of Mediation: https://www.caos-conflict-management.co.uk/mediation-training-course.html  Train in the CAOS Model of Conflict Coaching: https://www.caos-conflict-management.co.uk/conflict-coaching-training.html  Check out and like the Communication and Conflict Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/communicationandconflict/  Visit the Communication and Conflict website:  https://www.communicationandconflict.com  Books and ebooks:  The Simple Effective Skills of Conflict Resolution e-book https://www.communicationandconflict.com/conflict_resolution_skills.html  How to Resolve Bullying in the Workplace: Stepping Out of the Circle of Blame to Create an Effective Outcome for All https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Resolve-Bullying-Workplace-Effective/dp/1511941316  A Guide To Effective Communication for Conflict Resolution - How Mindful Communication Supports Growth Through Conflict.
