Moving an Argument to an Agreement
Although most of us dislike conflict, it’s inevitable in any relationship. Unfortunately, when we get into a heated debate with another person, we wind up saying and doing things that we later regret.
When a conflict happens with a client, a vendor, or colleague, sales are lost. Business relationships deteriorate. There’s an erosion to the trust and respect that are vital in working together as a team. Often, there’s a breakdown in communication just to avoid getting into another battle.
Each participant in a conflict has a story—and strong emotions underlying it. And when a hefty dose of emotion is involved, communication can get ugly. It’s this emotion that fuels an argument.
From this talk, you’ll learn how to:
- Understand the difference between an argument and a disagreement
- Recognize the components of an argument: how it starts, what keeps it going, and what can be done to bring it to an immediate stop
- Identify the point where emotions overpower rational thought
- Recognize the signals of when the emotional boiling point is approaching (in both yourself and the other person)
- Master five easy-to-remember steps to move from an argument to an agreement
The Recipe for Life
Wouldn’t it be great to have the recipe for creating the life you desire? The recipe for achieving fulfillment and balance in all areas (business, family/relationships, health and leisure)?
That recipe exists. It’s been around for a long time. It consists of four basic ingredients. It’s a very simple, very precise, very predictable recipe—and it works every time.
The challenging aspect of this recipe, however, is that it can produce a life of frustration, poverty, illness and misery just as easily as it can produce happiness, wealth, health and fulfillment. It’s all in how you follow the directions.
From this talk, you’ll learn:
- The four simple ingredients that lead to success in life and business
- How these ingredients are currently affecting your life
- How to adjust those ingredients to create any change you want
- Why you’re successful in some parts of your life but not in others
