When you have a disagreement or feel offended, it’s easy to start assigning intent to someone.

It happens a lot at work, but it happens in all kinds of relationships outside of work as well. Join our discussion about how we so easily fall into this trap, and how to move out of it.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves

Conflict exists in the workplace. It just does. One thing that contributes to conflict is what we refer to as narrative paradigms. Narrative paradigms are really just the stories that we tell ourselves. Sometimes there is truth to them and sometimes there isn't, but either way it's how we think. So, it's important for us to understand that so we know how to deal with conflict more effectively.
