A communication that lacks effectiveness doesn’t serve any purpose. A healthy communication between
family members, friends and colleagues is what we need in our everyday life. In a healthy communication
relationship both parties understand each other. They also know how to communicate by being clear,
honest and not judgmental. In an argument both parties understand that during argument it is not about
winning but understanding each other. In a healthy communication relationship both parties protect each
other feeling by caring about each other and trying to understand and make decision wisely.

problem is when two people do not know how to resolve differences, because each unresolved
significance becomes a brick and too many bricks becomes a wall.

11. Four essential skills for healthy conflict
Skillful Expression : is the ability to express my needs , values , opinions, feelings, and priorities
in a clear , direct and respectful way. In other words say , but don’t say it mean.
Skillful Listening is the ability to listen with the sole goal of understanding what my partner is
trying to express even when I don’t like or agree with what I am hearing .
Skill # 3 Creative problem-solving begins after we have skillfully listened to each other, so that
our opinion and feeling about an issue are on the table, face up , for both to see.
Skill #4 Responsible follow through means we each must do what we have agreed to do because
no matter how well we negotiate a solution, it will be meaningless without follow through. This
step build trust to a better bridge.

16. Techniques to master healthy communication in conflict resolution
Trust- a fundamental and the ultimate test is based on behavior: people trust each other when the do
what they say they will do. Make sure you honor any promise you make . When in doubt , be open and
honest.
Respect – is about honoring the other person and you can effectively communicate with someone
only if you show respect to this person. Respect is unconditional and should not ‘be deserved’.
Whatever you opinion o someone is, you will only be able to communicate effectively with this person
if you respect each other. There are many ways to show respect , the best way is to give them your
undivided attention.

17. Awareness- (And understanding is critical to effective communication) Most people focus on
themselves, yet are not fully aware of who they are, how they behave and how others perceive them.
This is about behavioral styles. ( everyone is unique: don’t ignore differences, body language,( it
speaks more than words) and most importantly emotion intelligence ( a requirement to good
decision making).
Empthy- is all about being able to relate to another person on an emotional level . You need to make
conscious efforts to understand how and why people feel the way they do . Sincere empathy is what
enables another person to believe that you actually care. Your actions must be aligned.
Resolution- means a decision must be made. As an effective communicator , you must be able to
close a communication and that means a consensus must be reached and decisions must be taken.
The most important factor for you to have is intergrity. You know what you believe in , you are able to
clearly communicate these beliefs and your emotions are coherent with your beliefs. People follow a
person who they think has integrity
