The three 'languages' parties speak and how to bridge them with Bradley Chenoweth on Wednesday 28 September
This session will offer a theoretical model and micro-skills practice. People in conflict speak different 'languages' – even when from the same culture. The extent to which parties can listen across these 'language' differences determines the extent to which they can develop the shared meaning necessary to resolve conflict, navigate change or jointly solve complex problems. Bradley will present the Boundary Profile model to assist you to consciously detect these 'languages' in participants and yourself, and so support conflict resolution. You will have an opportunity to apply this diagnostic tool and take away an understanding of the impact this approach can have on mediation and conflict management.
