Fact-Driven Conflict Resolution

Suggested Strategy: Clear the air by going back to the facts. When

opinions come into play, with that come unwarranted emotions. When it

comes to conflict, the more distance made the better. Help people

reframe how they phrase conflicting opinions by refocusing on bringing

facts into the picture.

Suggested Questions:

→ Risk Question: What risk do we assume when we bring opinions or

feelings into the conversation when it comes to conflict driven

communication?

→ Self-Actualized: What will you do to successfully reframe your

conversations or arguments to be fact driven versus opinion driven?

Suggested Activities:

→ Role Play: Have your employee/employees go through a role play

scenario where you are in a fake conflict driven sequence of

communication. Have the employee respond as they normally would

with opinion, then provide your response. Then, have the employee

rephrase that conversation by bringing in facts rather than opinions.

Summarize the activity by asking them how the felt the first

conversationwent, how the second went, and the benefits of using facts

over opinions or emotions.
