🧩 Conflict Resolution: Working Through It Together

Conflict is a normal part of working with others — but how we handle it makes all the difference.
Here are 5 simple steps to resolve conflicts in a healthy way:
1. Stay Calm
Take a deep breath. Avoid yelling or blaming.
2. Listen to Understand
Let the other person speak. Try to hear their side before jumping in.
3. Speak Clearly and Kindly
Use “I” statements (e.g. “I feel frustrated when...”) instead of pointing fingers.
4. Work Toward a Solution
Ask: “What can we do to fix this?” Focus on solving the problem — not winning the argument.
5. Get Help if Needed
If you can’t work it out, ask a supervisor or neutral third party to support.

Safety Starts with Seeing, Stay Aware, Stay Safe!
