055 - Building communication bridges in conflict

Conflict happens. It's something we all experience at some point when working in teams, even if generally we have great relationships with our colleagues, co-workers, customers or partners. Conflict can cause short-term issues with collaboration, such as getting projects agreed and progressing forward. However, it clearly can impact the ongoing relationship, leading to long-term trust issues and negatively influencing the dynamics in the rest of the team.  I believe we can get around conflict situations by building communication bridges. This means building a bridge with how you show up to the conversation, what you say and how you approach the interaction to find a step forward towards meeting each other.  What you will learn in this episode: The role of non-verbal communication when approaching the conversation Turning up your empathy radar Exploring their objections Understand and clarify their point of view Identify and agree the common goal Bringing an innovation mindset to build the bridge  One small step forward Resources: Are you thinking of setting up a podcast?
