We know that in any human endeavor involving more than one person there are going to be disagreements. It is in our nature. We have differing perspectives, interests, issues, and needs. We're imperfect communicators. We have different personalities. We all have emotions. We're individually unique. The challenge is to deal with disagreements so they don't become conflicts and conflicts into disputes. In this blog we will inform, educate, and promote processes and techniques by which we can prevent, avoid, and resolve conflict peacefully, giving relationships a chance to survive, (and as stated by one of my colleagues) turn conflict attitudes and behaviors into resolution attitudes and behaviors. We'll try to be conservative on the number of words and use many examples to make our points. My research into this area will be internet based unless otherwise indicated. .
You'll hear an awful lot about mediation, quite a bit about facilitation, and some about arbitration but very little about litigation. Although we acknowledge advocacy for a cause and a win lose result from litigation we believe that in many cases litgation is a last resort.
