What is Conflict Coaching?
Conflict Coaching supports individuals to confidently move forward with a specific area of tension or issue they are experiencing.
- It is a one-to-one, confidential and impartial process, often used where mediation is not appropriate at a given time or not desirable by one or both parties.
- Conflict coaching uses the skills of mediation – listening, providing summaries, and asking open, non-leading questions - to support the individual in exploring their situation. This includes helping them look at how it has affected them, and how they can respond in ways that will genuinely work for them and improve their situation.
- It is suitable at any point in a conflict but is most effective early on, to allow the creation of healthy solutions before the relationship and communication has deteriorated altogether.
- Conflict coaching takes place over 1-3 sessions, each session lasts up to 1.5 hours. The number of sessions is decided by the client based on the support they need.
