Conflict coaching is a process to support peoples’ ability to engage in, manage, or productively resolve conflict. In this process, the conflict coach works one-on-one with a client experiencing conflict with another person. Conflict coaching enables the client to talk about the conflict with a neutral third party (the conflict coach), consider options for managing the conflict, and design an approach to discuss the conflict with the other person. Coaching can be used as a stand-alone process, or can be practiced with each of the parties in separate meetings during mediation.
Conflict coaching can be useful in a variety of circumstances, including conflicts in the workplace, relationships, family disagreements, or business conflicts In such situations, the conflict coach can serve as a confidential listener, help the client to see the situation from all perspectives, support the client in considering options, and help the client to come up with a plan of action to deal with the conflict. In conflict coaching, the client, not the conflict coach, is responsible for the outcome. The conflict coach uses skills to help the client develop more clarity about the situation, enabling the client to effectively and confidently make high-quality decisions to manage the conflict. Also, the conflict coach can help the client rehearse a conversation so that the client is prepared to more confidently enter into the conflict resolution discussion.
