Communication and Conflict in different areas of our lives
The Principles of Effective Communication and Underlying Philosophies of Mediation are employed to explore and consider various areas of life in which conflicts can occur and how they may be responded to constructively where there has been a history of destructive responses.
As you go through the different pages I think you will start to see that ineffective and destructive responses take a similar form in all the situations and how awareness of the Principles, Underlying Philosophies and the skills of Listening, Summarising and Questioning enable a return to constructive responses to occur.
