LEO• Listen:
– Body language (face them, open body stance)– Tone and volume, Do your eyes show interest? (or are you busy taking notes?)
– Ask open ended questions– Encourage talking (that must have been difficult, thank you for telling me)– Give them room– Suspend Judgment, Avoid moving to premature solutions
• Empathize: – Confirms you understand their point of view– Lets them know you heard their story
– Demonstrates comfort and competence – Lays groundwork for problem solving– Helps build common ground– “So you feel___________ because it seems to you____________ ?”– Restate feelings, their view and check to make sure you got it right?– Model desired emotional state (breathe, be calm, attentive)
• Options:– Get their attention- confirm understanding- move to desired outcome
– Offer Options-“I can think of some options, want to hear them?– Co-create options, neutral language– Plot a course- next steps (KIS)

Conflict Management and Transformation
• It is time: – To honour our values of respect, compassion and treating
others as we would wish to be treated.– To expand our life skills as we live cooperatively in increasingly
diverse communities– To embrace conflict as an opportunity for learning and growth
• Transformation is possible-”Our peaceful world is not a place without conflict. Rather it is a place where we resolve our conflicts with respect, compassion, and a shared goal of understanding. Let us honour each other in the process.”
Key skills for working with conflict: Respecting the people and understanding the problem
• Separating the people and the problem• Focus on interests not positions• Common Interests• Creating Options- why brainstorming works• Emotional and social intelligence skills• Heart felt Compassion• “People do the best they can with what they know.
When they know better, they do better.” Maya Angelo
If you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between ‘for’ and ‘against’ is the mind’s worst disease.
