Conversations to Cut the Conflict

Emotions are necessary and useful to have in our everyday life. We cannot survive without them. While emotions are so important, most people do not find it easy to talk about them, recognise them and work with (please note I said with, not against) them. A lot of people find this especially difficult when they find themselves in a conflict situation.

In this episode I am debunking myths that surround emotions with Dr Sam Hardy based on her research. This new research is available to us but as a society we are still working with old myths that are not useful!

I feel so lucky that Sam shared her wisdom and research with all you listeners in this episode. I feel everyone should listen to this episode! Sam's research will change what you think you know about emotions. I promise.

I got a lot out of this conversation and I am sure you will too. What we discuss will apply to you on a personal level but also if you are a professional working in the conflict resolution space.
Books Sam referred to during the podcast:

1. Lisa Feldman Barrett “How Emotions are Made”
2. Susan David “Emotional Agility”
3. Batja Mesquita “Between Us: How cultures create emotions”

In this episode, I interview Zinta Harris from Resolve Estate Law. Zinta is a succession lawyer, collaborative professional, and mediator who is amazing at helping people when they are in conflict while a loved one has just passed away.
I loved having this conversation with Zinta. We discuss death and other topics most people do not like talking about but should be talking about. Zinta has a great approach and during our conversation I found myself looking differently at death and what legacy I would like to leave behind.

I highly recommend that you listen to this episode. If you want to know how can you protect your legacy (which is not just about money by the way). What kind of things do you need to talk about with the people that you love before you are no longer here, and how can you resolve disputes surrounding wills and estates and while you are grieving.

This episode is for anyone who is interested in preventing conflict in the workplace and creating an environment where people enjoy working and want to stay.

I interviewed Jo Alilovic who is an HR lawyer that works with businesses to get things right from the beginning. She helps businesses with strategic planning, and preventative measures to avoid the legal claims that may arise when a working relationship breaks down.

Jo and I talk about what bullying is and what it is not and how you can prevent conflict in the workplace. The work environment has changed a lot over the last years which has forced employees and employers to negotiate more than ever. The question is how do you do this best?

Have a listen and please share this with anyone who you think can benefit from this. Do not forget to leave a review if you loved this episode. Thank you!

This episode is a short one to remind you of the power of empathy. Empathy is amazing, but often we forget about it as we run though life in our fast moving society where we don't always get to connect with other people properly.

When we are in conflict, or in a negotiation, we can get into a divisive mindset very quickly. Empathy is an easy way to get back into the space of collaboration.

Listen to this episode to be reminded about the power of empathy in negotiation and conflict resolution and share with anyone who can benefit from this.

I would love it if you could leave a review or let me know in a message what you are getting out of listening to Conversations to Cut the Conflict.

Negotiation is a fact of life. We do it every day in our personal and professional lives. When you are confident in your negotiations and you know how to do it effectively you will be surprised at the kind of results you can produce.

A lot of people want to be able to negotiate effectively but they do not know how. In this episode I will be sharing with you what you can do to get better outcomes in your negotiations. When you are confident in your negotiations and you know how to do it effectively you will be surprised at the kind of results you can produce. The episode is a bit longer than normal because there is so much to share and I only scratched the surface!

Let me know what you get out of this episode and what else you would like to learn about negotiation and conflict resolution so I can record more episodes for you.
