Conflict Coaching

Conflict coaching is a service to help an individual experiencing a conflict become equipped with a set of skills and strategies to constructively resolve an interpersonal dispute. The individual will be paired with a trained and experienced conflict coach who will guide them through a process of understanding the conflict and exploring possible resolutions.

Conflict coaching may be used if one party in a dispute rejects the opportunity for mediation, no longer allowing mediation to be a plausible option.

Conflict coaching may help resolve:                                                                  

• A dispute with a family member
• A dispute with a landlord or tenant
• A dispute with a neighbor
• A dispute with an employer or employee
• A dispute with a business, agency, or organization

"I really appreciated the coaching that I received from Neighborhood Dispute Settlement (NDS). It helped me think about the conflict in a different way and made me realize that I needed to acknowledge the concerns of the other party and understand what their core needs are. When I implemented the advice from NDS, I found the other party to be more receptive to what I was trying to accomplish and it opened the lines of communication. I am hopeful that we can come to a mutually agreeable compromise." - Sherry
