When you improve your conflict skills you improve your relationships. We're tech support for the conflict skills you already have, so you do conflict better.
Our logo is a dandelion because conflict is like a weed invading your garden. You want to know how to manage it, and keep it from spreading. In each episode, we give you one real life conflict competency you can use right away to improve your skills, which will also improve the quality of your relationships.

Conflict Owner's Manual
What is your conflict trying to tell you? #147
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Conflicts have important information for you. When you're in conflict, you think about how the other person is wrong, or hurtful or disappointing etc. But, your thoughts are also information you can use to understand yourself, and to turn conflict into opportunities for doing better.
Here's how you can use that information to increase your conflict competence, and improve the quality of your relationships.
And, for fun, we added an end clip of Tyson and Deborah before recording the episode discussing how they'll talk about the topic.
