Conflict coaching
What can a Merlijn conflict coach do for you in a conflict situation?
Level: Conflict resolution method
Most people do not like conflicts. We also haven’t always learned to handle them well. However, conflicts can be productive, and we can learn a lot from them. About ourselves, the other person, and the interaction.
Conflict coaching is guiding one or more conflict parties in a conflict. The goal of coaching is to develop conflict-proficient behavior. For this, insight into one’s own behavior is necessary. Being conflict-proficient means having the ability to view the conflict from a different perspective, which allows for movement in the conflict and the ability to recognize future conflicts (in a timely manner) to prevent them from escalating.

What does conflict coaching involve?
The conflict coach guides the conflict parties in one or more conversations to raise awareness of ineffective behavior and what is needed to achieve effective behavior. The understanding of one’s own contribution to the conflict and underlying beliefs is enhanced. The conflict parties learn to let go of, process, or reframe thoughts that are experienced as inhibiting. Additionally, they become aware of their own underlying desires, interests, needs, or wants, as well as those of others, and learn to take responsibility for their own actions. When there is movement in these underlying layers, people become proficient in handling conflicts and can approach similar new situations from this renewed perspective.
