Facilitating a group of 60 professionals on Conflict Management & Difficult Conversations last week was an amazing experience. 

I love witnessing individuals and teams develop new awareness of their personal and collective impact on the team and company culture.

The group expressed the following as their Top 3 Take-aways:

1. Constructive conflict needs to happen for innovative ideas and creativity to flourish;

2. No conflict is a sign of fear, lack of trust and low employee engagement;

3. Self awareness of their personal conflict style, of their teammates, and that we all have each style within us - we just tend to lean on one or two more than the others.

No one style is "bad" and no one style is "good". We all have the power to choose which style suits each situation.

How do you tend to show up when conflict arises?

Journaling wasn't a part of my life until this past year. 

I know many people who spoke highly of the benefits they felt but it took me a long time to get it. Now I can't go without.

As a coach & consultant, I am in support of people daily who are working through important times in their careers and lives and I want to be really present for them. This is something I take very seriously.

So, to be present for them and free of my own sh$t - as much as is possible - journalling is one way I can feel more grounded and available to truly listen.

Do you spend time journaling your thoughts?
Everything you do has good intentions behind it. But is that enough? 

While we are very aware of the intentions behind our own actions, we can fall into the trap of assuming that our intentions are obvious to others. We may be well intended but also very misunderstood. I know, I’ve been there. 

To avoid this type of miscommunication and potential breach of trust, we want to learn how to close the gap between our intentions and how our actions are perceived. 

I offer the following reflections:

🤔 How can I communicate more to help avoid miscommunication?
🤔 When can I take time to consider how my actions may be perceived from their point of view?
🤔 When will I actively seek feedback in the moment to help identify my own blind spots? 

Are you being perceived the way you intend? How do you know?

Reach out if you'd like to go deeper.
I invite you to consider which of the following most resonates with you:

🤔 I am highly motivated by getting results on time and in an efficient and effective manner. 

🤔 I am highly motivated by the process and the facts before I can make a sound decision. 

🤔 I am highly motivated by what others need and ensuring the right people are involved. 

Now consider how someone you work with might respond. What do you notice? What difference could this make? 

When I first learned about my Motivational Value System (MVS), I had a tremendous feeling of relief and calm. I felt like I finally understood why I was the way I was at work. For better or for worse. 

The assessment tool by Core Strengths is the SDI 2.0, and I've been providing this to my clients for the past four years. It helps us to learn our strengths, our overdone strengths, what motivates us, and how our behaviour can be perceived by those around us. 

The key is our awareness. Once we understand how we may be perceived by others, we can #choose how we want to show up. And I believe that having the #power to choose is #priceless.

If you're keen to dive deeper, don't hesitate to reach out. Your people will thank you.

We learned so much from working with Susan! Her insights, ideas and knowledge saved us a lot of time, money, and energy. She will be our go-to consultant for years to come. We highly recommend Susan McGuire!
