THE THREE R’S OF CONFLICT

RESOLUTION
Conflict is a common event in human interactions. Whether it's a disagreement with a
colleague or a rift with a loved one, conflicts arise in various forms and sizes. However,
what truly matters is how we address and resolve these conflicts. Here, we will explore
the Three Rs of Conflict Resolution – Recognize, Reflect, and Resolve – to provide you
with practical tools to navigate conflicts and achieve fruitful resolutions.

RECOGNIZE
RESOLVE

REFLECTION

RECOGNIZE
The first step towards resolving conflicts is recognizing their existence. We
often ignore or downplay conflicts, allowing them to simmer and grow into
more significant issues. By shining a light on the conflict, we can address it in
a timely manner, preventing it from escalating.

REFLECT
Once the conflict is recognized, it's crucial to shift our perspective and
engage in self-reflection. Reflecting allows us to gain insights into our own
role in the conflict, empathize with the other party's point of view, and
consider alternative perspectives. Honest self-reflection helps us to let go of
defensiveness and promotes open dialogue.

RESOLVE
Resolving conflicts involves finding common ground, seeking compromise,
and working towards a mutually beneficial solution. It often requires open
communication, active listening, and a willingness to find win-win solutions.
Resolving conflicts empowers individuals and strengthens relationships
through effective problem-solving.
RECOGNIZE

THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS RESOLVING ANY CONFLICT IS THE COURAGEOUS


ACT OF RECOGNIZING ITS PRESENCE, FOR ONLY BY ACKNOWLEDGING ITS
EXISTENCE CAN WE PAVE THE PATH TOWARDS HARMONY AND
TRANSFORMATIVE RESOLUTION.

What specifically is causing the conflict?

How does the conflict manifest itself in your thoughts and emotions?

What are the potential consequences of not addressing the conflict?


REFLECT

IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION, REFLECTION STANDS AS THE STEADFAST


BRIDGE BETWEEN DISCORD AND UNDERSTANDING. BY TAKING THE TIME TO
INTROSPECT AND EVALUATE OUR OWN ROLE AND PERSPECTIVE, WE
UNLOCK THE WISDOM AND HUMILITY NECESSARY TO FORGE MEANINGFUL
RESOLUTIONS.

How does your own behavior contribute to the conflict?

Can you empathize with the other party's perspective?

Are there any underlying issues that might be causing the conflict?
RESOLVE

RESOLVE IS THE GUIDING FORCE THAT TRANSFORMS INTENTIONS INTO


ACTIONS. IT IS THROUGH UNWAVERING DETERMINATION AND A
STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO FINDING COMMON GROUND THAT WE
UNLOCK THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF RESOLUTION.

What specific actions can you take to address the conflict?

How can you communicate your needs and concerns effectively?

Are there any compromises or creative solutions that both parties can agree
upon?
