How to Approach Conflict with a Mindset Shift | Kristine Scott | True Snacks

Techniques for approach conflict are helpful but shifting your mindset from armoring up and defending to one of empathy and curiosity: game changing.

In this True Snack clip, Kristine Scott shares what she’s learned about conflict resolution from her firsthand experience, first while growing with a lot of conflict, then in her early career learning from youth living on the streets who had to learn conflict resolution skills to survive. 

What Kristine has learned, however, is not only a set of techniques to resolve conflict, but she shares a perspective shift away from threat reduction and towards empathy and compassion towards someone who is hurting and who is searching for help.

In this episode, Kristine answers the following questions:
• What is conflict resolution? What is a Conflict Resolutionary? 
• What are the principles of conflict resolution? 
• How to change your approach to conflict?
• What is the role of empathy and curiosity in conflict resolution?
