Dr. Charles Wilson's Conflict Resolution Lecture
Flow of Discussion
Enter on the Human side, then on the business side
You may alternate between the two but always exit on the human side
Hooks
Things that people do to make you enter into nonproductive communication
Two people can't tango if one is not talking
Skip the hook, go to the human side
Once you swallow the hook, you are hooked
Hooks can be: Statements, body language, threats, tapes, discounts.
Used so someone can get their way.
When hooks are used the end result will never be accomplished.
Three Types of People
Thinking- Cognition
Start our processing with thought: I understand, I think, Come let us reason together
They reason with only one side of their brain at a time.
Goes through the steps and then the end product.
How did you get here? "First I got into my car..."
To manage behavior, use reason: Don't touch the stove because it is hot and you will get burned.
Example: "Get a giant candy bar for me at the store." "There were no giant candy bars so I didn't get you one because it is not on the list."
In trauma people revert back to the communication they were comfortable with as a child: " What's going on with me, I want to know"
Feeling- Affection
 I feel
 Global assessors- think from all the brain at once
 Breathe from only the top third of their lungs
 Goes to end product first and then the steps
 How did you get here, "I drove, First I...."
 To manage behavior, use guilt and shame: If you touch the stove, Dad will be disappointed in you.
 Example: "Get a giant canybar for me at the store." "They didn't have giant so I bought you a large, medium, and small, does that make you feel better?"
 In trauma people revert back to the communication they were comfortable with as a child: "I want someone with a good bedside manner."
Doing -Experiential
 How did you get here? "What do you mean?"
 To manage behavior, let them experience it: Put chills hand on hot stove.
 Example: "Get a giant candy bar for me at the store." This person drives around the block, walks down all the aisles and comes back with a can of beans and asks, "Is this what you wanted?"
 In trauma people revert back to the communication they were comfortable with as a child: "Do something."
When Transacting
 You must function on the thinking side first.
 Reason is the best way to start communication through the model.
 Deal with the facts first, when you become emotional, you loose your reasoning.
People tend to respond with the same patterns every time
Neural Linguistic Programing
 Communication is only 7% Words
 Number one repair building technique is to breathe like they do.
 Muscle memory is the strongest memory
 Remember people have large space in front, approach from the side
 Sit on their side of the table
 Don't let the way you do things get in the way before you get to the point
Thoughts on Anger
 Are you a volcano or a crock pot? These are the one emotion but different reactions
 Don't ever try to reason with an angry man.
 There are not bad people, just bad processes.
He suggests research from the following: Bandler, Grinder, Emotional Intelligence.
I See It
|
<--------------->
|
You See It
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
The Way it Is
|
 |
We tend to bounce between the way I see it
and the way you see it and never get to the way it is
Try: I don't know what it is about socks on the floor that bothers me: Remember to own the issue.
Platform Skills
Credibility and Approachability are the Platform Skills
 You want to be believed and you want to be approachable
 Keep hands below the waist and make eye contact- this is a credible stance
 Move then from a credible stance to an approachable stance
 When your hands come above your waist you become approachable.
 Monitoring your nonverbals cause people to want to hear what you have to say and helps make sure people hear you say it.
 Roll hands to say talk to me

Underlying Values
|
Decisions in reaction to the values

Info as I see it
|
Don't use the word "feel"
|
" I think people should"
|
 |
What I see, hear
|
"Makes me Mad"
|
 |
 |
Facts
|
Let them vent, write it hear and keep it here.

Put Flip Charts Left to Right
Write exactly the word they say in the words they use and then ask, "Is this what you said?"
People do not argue with their own data.
Different people relate facts according to their senses
See-- Do you see what I say
Hear--That sounds good to me
Touch-- Muscle memory is the strongest
Most information is related in these three senses
Brainstorming
 Get big sticky notes
 Have each person write one thought per sticky note on each of the columns of discussion: He used money, people, and education.
 Collect the sticky notes and put on board or wall crooked (to remember that they haven't been discusses)
 Read each, ask if everyone understands, if they don't ask the person who wrote it to clarify.
 Put that sticky note on the board straight
 Go through each and then rearrange by groups.
There are only Four of Five Options to Decisions
 Social Issues
 Spiritual or internal direction issues (not religion)
 Physical Issues
 Emotional Mental Issues
Thoughts on Firing
This is happening
This is not the behavior I expect
Is there some problem that I can help with
You are firing yourself
Misc Rabbit Chasers
Hypnosis is nothing more than keying in on nonverbal.
Anchoring is a form of behavioral modification ties to nonverbals.
Learn to be a change agent and handle conflict as it comes
Don't ever underestimate the power of experience
