Do you avoid conflict?

Hi ,
Do you avoid conflict? Yep, me too!
The words "conflict" and "confrontation" sound scary and icky.
Confrontation makes me think of Jack Nicholson screaming, "You can't handle the truth", in the courtroom scene from the movie, A Few Good Men:
Why does this confrontation style not work for many of us?
Because it's BULLYING, not communication.
It took me years to realize that I don't want to dominate a conversation. No one has to win or lose when we have a disagreement, at work or at home.
In fact, there are a myriad of other outcomes beyond the win/lose dichotomy, that will help us, heal us, and create stronger relationships in our lives.
Give me some of that!
That's why I created the "Open Communication Method", a simple system for my communication clients to speak more honestly and get your needs met.
Learn how my communication method will help you speak more directly and honestly in my podcast video episode, "Nice Women Can Have Difficult Conversations" here:
Stay Calm & Speak On,
