Strategies to Resolve
Conflicts
• Assume you do not have all the
answers.
• Ask questions to understand the other
person(s).
• Be prepared to compromise or make a
deal.
Active listening
• Really listen to what they are saying
• Focus your attention on them
• Use non-verbal cues (e.g. nodding the
head)
• Paraphrase what they have said, to show
that you have understood.
These are all the same -
A piece of cheese!

– Step alongside them, try to see things from
their point of view
