    It Takes Two, Correct? Resolving Conflict By Yourself

    It Takes Two, Correct? Resolving Conflict By Yourself

    Judy – I read your Clear Communication article today. What happens when the other person just isn’t seeing or acknowledging my intent, despite trying multiple ways to state it clearly? What if that person continues to come back in defense no matter how much centering I do? What then? When is it time to just let it go, stop trying and just move on? Are there some conversations that just won’t work no matter? It does take 2, correct?

    Sincerely,
    Sincerely frustrated :O

    It Takes Two, Correct?

    I hear this question a lot. Workshop participants, Ki Moments subscribers, and coaching clients all want to know: “it takes two, correct?”

    I wonder, when we say this, if we are expecting more from the other person than they can give.
