I use Perceptual Positioning for helping the client access his/her un/sub conscious brain and resolve the conflict with any other individual.
Also The framework of "Follower ship" helps us ask right question in order to shift the client from Blaming to introspecting...

Thanks for your kinds words. I am all about solutions these days. I've had my share of conflict. My new mission statement is: To Eradicate Conflict From The Earth.

What a powerful in-time and on-time message. We need more solutions, not more conflicting problems. I enjoyed the presentation style...with simplicity and relevancy. Thanks. I needed that.

Re: 6 Steps to successful Change – Keeping Right Perspective

Keeping perspective is a great thing to do to make sure you stay on track and don't get lose sight of where you are going. I also agree that you should keep your goal in mind. I have a picture board that allows me to see everything that my hard work will give me, so I know exactly what I am working for.

Another thing I do is keep a list of all the things to improve my site, increase traffic, and also my monthly business/marketing goals. This helps me see exactly where my site is headed and what I should be focused on. Great article.

MaryAnn, Thanks for your honest assessment. Often with a little nudge we find truth that we have missed. Once we see it we wonder how we overlooked it. Your smiles will be a blessing.

Thank you for the prompting to reflect more deeply on a recent comment that my daughter recently made; she referred to me as being serious. It surprised me because most people tell me that I'm always smiling. I realized that at home I tend to slip into my reflective/contemplative-self and have a neutral (serious) expression. Suppose my family would appreciate more smiles...!

Arleen,
I remember as a teenager watching a movie, I think it was the Great Train Robbery, with the stereo turned up almost to full blast. It was very funny that way. However, I have not done it since to analyze body language. I might do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Who are you offending? Does it matter?

Arleen Potvin Bradley — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:19:13 -0000

Interesting thought. I have watched tv without the sound and really looked at the facial expressions and body language. It said more that the words.

Kim, how true about the misinterpretation possibility. That is why email, text and even letters should not be used to communicate delicate issues. Thanks.

Kathy — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:37:45 -0000

Bill, it was several years ago that I became aware of my facial expressions and how they can be misinterpreted by others. I'm so grateful I was able to hear the person who shared this with me. I've been a new woman ever since!!

Kim_Avery — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:47:40 -0000

Hi Bill - This is very thought-provoking and convicting. It's so easy to get caught up in our own emotional experience that we forget how easily the expression on our face or the tone in our voice can be misinterpreted by others such that they think we are displeased with them.

Loving others takes a great deal of self-awareness.

Another helpful post from Bill Graybill. #5 has served me well, Bill. Minimizing time with people that produce stress in my life. When I do that, the other six items fall into place much easier! My brain just makes better decisions when I control the amount of time I spend with TOXIC people.
YAY! Bill. Thanks for keeping us on track!

Re: Resolve Conflict God's Way; The Skills You Need to Make Peace (Paperback)

Michael R — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:29:04 -0000

I was the one to cause great conflict in my marriage and inflict enormous pain, but God has since took complete control of my life. I am facing the possibility of losing my best friend who is my loving wife of a very long time. My betrayal completely crushed her spirit and left her heart wounded and feeling unwanted. And even after knowing God's forgiveness has washed me, I am having a difficult time forgiving myself.

So I purchased this book in the hopes of finding a way to forgive myself and to resolve the inner conflict I have been wrestling with. I found hope in reading this book and I feel I can look at myself in the mirror soon and smile. After the first couple of chapters, I began to understand and apply the prayer aspect and can tell my spirit has been responding. This book has also been instrumental for me to grasp how the ones I hurt are coping with this situation and gave me specific wording I should be praying. This was definitely an unexpected bonus!

This book was inspirational, Biblical and offers hope to resolving any conflict, restoring broken relationships and speaks truth about forgiveness. If the Lord can save me and forgive me after all I have done, He will certainly forgive you. And this book is full of methods, examples and evidence that God's way is the best way to mend relationships. And the book does just that in an easy to read manner.

As an author and parent educator, I skimmed this book for ways to avoid conflict in families. Found some great ideas that I will go back and read in depth.

I especially agree with the idea of blame shifting. The author makes a point of how harmful it is to include "but' in a conversation. That one little word carries so much judgement and automatically escalates the conversation into a conflict.

Will enjoy reading the entire book when I can relax with a highlighter and a few minutes to meditate on the subject.

Truth be told, I'm a person who's always in conflict with people. It could be over an unpaid debt, a broken promise, or a favor unreturned. When I was younger, I would go for an all-out confrontation with the other person, but now that I am older, I have just ignored it. I thought that I am being the "bigger" person, but Dr. Bill helped me realized that I am just adding them to "a pile of unresolved hurts." Sooner or later, I am going to erupt and whoever will be be the target of my explosion will be seriously hurt by what I am going to say.

After finishing this book, I would do my best to overlook offenses and not ignore them. It's going to be a tough exercise but I believe that I can do it.
