Conflict Resolution Skills

Building the Skills That Can Turn Conflicts into Opportunities

Conflict is a normal part of any healthy relationship. After all, two people can’t be expected to agree on everything, all the time. Learning how to deal with conflict—rather than avoiding it—is crucial. When conflict is mismanaged, it can cause great harm to a relationship, but when handled in a respectful, positive way, conflict provides an opportunity to strengthen the bond between two people. By learning these skills for conflict resolution, you can keep your personal and professional relationships strong and growing.

Understanding conflict in relationships

Conflict arises from differences, both large and small. It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. Sometimes these differences appear trivial, but when a conflict triggers strong feelings, a deep personal need is often at the core of the problem. These needs can be a need to feel safe and secure, a need to feel respected and valued, or a need for greater closeness and intimacy.

1. Conflicts prevent you from any new opportunities.
2. Good relationship means no conflicts.
3. 2 people sometimes disagree with each other.
4. Learning how to avoid a conflict is really important.
5. When people have a conflict, they always call the names.
6. The reasons of conflicts are similarities.
7. People can disagree over their idols.
8. Conflicts arise when strong personal feelings are touched.
9. People usually have different personal needs.
10. A need to feel respected and valued is deep and personal.
