Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Conflict Coaching Fundamentals by Samantha Hardy This book provides an accessible framework for understanding why people tell their conflict stories the way they do, and how to help them move away from conflict stories that prevent them from understanding and responding to conflict in an effective way. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description We naturally create stories to help us make meaning of our world, but in conflict situations the kinds of stories we typically tell ourselves can actually make it harder for us to manage and resolve the conflict constructively. This book provides an accessible framework for understanding why people tell their conflict stories the way they do, and how to help them move away from conflict stories that prevent them from understanding and responding to conflict in an effective way. Presented using highly engaging and accessible cases, the book is designed to help people working with others in conflict to fully support them by understanding which areas of the conflict story to focus their attention on, and using practical techniques to support people to rewrite their story into a more constructive one to better manage the situation. The book also provides practical strategies to help people who are themselves in a conflict scenario to rewrite and enact a version of their conflict story that helps them to more constructively manage, and often resolve, their situation. A conflict management coaching system is introduced that is designed to address the particular problems created by dysfunctional conflict stories. This is a book specifically for those who work with people in conflict (mediators, conflict coaches, managers, lawyers, HR staff, teachers) and also for anyone who wishes to better understand their own experience of conflict.

The REAL Conflict Coaching SystemTM Review "People in conflict tell stories about what they experienced – sometimes to mend the fabric of a newly-torn reality, or explore the meaning of what happened, or demonize their opponents, or justify their own behavior - but always to discover a way out, or return to their own un-conflicted selves, or tell the story in a way that imparts insight into the deeper reasons why it happened, allowing it to be forgotten. Samantha Hardy, a self-confessed "pracademic," brings a wonderful combination of practical coaching and mediation skills, a high level of emotional insight, and a profound understanding of the nature of narrative and melodrama to this excellent and immensely useful book. Every practitioner will learn something from it and walk away with a deeper understanding of the role of melodrama and tragedy in conflict stories, and a great many practical coaching and mediation skills to boot! It is an enjoyable read and well worth the price." - Kenneth Cloke, Mediator and author of The Dance of Opposites: Explorations in Mediation, Dialogue and Conflict Resolution Systems Design"Sam is inviting you to look at conflict through a whole new set of eyes. The unique and entertaining lens that she is offering is genres of literature. She has uncovered and is taking you on a journey to discover healthy and unhealthy conflict story patterns. These insights provide you with the power to (re)-write your own, or help others (re)-write their own, conflict narratives in a way that helps define new ways for moving forward and find peace with the past. A must for conflict specialists and people who want to critically reflect on their own approach to conflict." - Claudia Butler, Professional Conflict Navigator, Australia Details ISBN0367651440 Author Samantha Hardy Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Year 2021 ISBN-10 0367651440 ISBN-13 9780367651442 Publication Date 2021-09-30 UK Release Date 2021-09-30 Format Paperback Imprint Routledge Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2021-09-30 NZ Release Date 2021-09-30 Pages 168 Subtitle Working With Conflict Stories Illustrations 1 Tables, black and white; 9 Halftones, black and white; 9 Illustrations, black and white Alternative 9780367651428 DEWEY 303.69 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
