Session 5 - Making Tough Conversations Easier

Session Assignments:

  • Peer coach each other on responding to conflict using the following prompts:

    • Discuss the three conflict behaviors that bother you most and the three behaviors you tend to demonstrate.

    • Describe the situations or triggers where these behaviors are most likely to show up.

    • Brainstorm strategies you can use when you recognize you are going into an automatic conflict response.

    • Between now and our next session notice your conflict triggers and practice choosing your response rather than reacting. We will debrief them during the session.

  • Recognize when conflict avoidance is happening on your team – lean into healthy conflict.

  • Meet with your accountability partner to keep the conversations going.
