When you think of the term conflict, what do you think about?

19/10/2018

Have you ever walked into a shop having received bad service and suddenly realised that you feel as if you can’t stand up for yourself adequately? Had an argument or disagreement with a friend or colleague or even a partner and been left thinking you wish you’d handled things differently?

Every day we face conflict situations of differing natures,and every day we can be left feeling un-confident in how to deal with those situations.

If you find that you lack confidence in conflict situations then watch this space. Part of the way to deal with these situations isn’t being able to make the best argument or come up with the greatest answer or even be able to shout the loudest. The key to dealing with conflict with confidence is in being able to handle the situation in a way that doesn’t make you feel like the lesser person, even if you’ve not been able to win the argument.
