CONFLICT COACHING and CONSULTING
                            for Individuals

Difficult conversations and conflict are inevitable; if it is managed effectively conflict empowers people and creates transformative opportunities.  Conflict, in and of itself, is not negative; but how it is handled by people frequently creates disruption and causes lost relationships, lost potential, and lost resources.  Debra Synovec offers conflict coaching and consulting for people who want to transform conflict into positive change.

Why use conflict coaching and consulting? 

• Conflict Coaching and Consulting may be used to handle conflict that has not yet escalated to litigation but is percolating under the surface and is getting ready to erupt.  In these situations, conflict coaching and consulting may be used as a preventative tool to help individuals and teams take steps to  manage conflict in a constructive manner. 
  
  
• Conflict coaching and consulting are tools to help clients in situations in which the conflict has already escalated and the client is involved in litigation,mediation or legal negotiations.
  
  
• Conflict coaching and consulting advance the client's ability to participate in difficult conversations, mediation, litigation or negotiation by helping them to improve their ability to manage conflict, understand the conflict, create options and develop negotiation skills. 

Benefits:

• gain understanding of the other person's perception and needs
• anticipate the other person's goals
• create and clarify their own goals
• create options to achieve goals 
• develop strategies to realize goals
