The Big Idea For Conflict Resolution
There are many myths as to what strength and bravery are:  It is not a sign of strength to: 1) not apologize 2) project that you are perfect 3) not let people have their experiences exist equally 4) constantly seek comfort simply to avoid your discomfort.  No one makes mistakes on purpose.  Each person I has two dogs in them that they feed.  One is the attack dog and one is the connect dog….which ever dog we feed has a lot to do with our mindset.  My mindset says what dog will I feed and that has to do with character.
 
” We’re not capable of making our circumstances ready enough so that we can join in without the risk of getting scraped.” ~Johansson & Lankow

The Invisible Habits of EQ: The Skills of Courage, Compassion, and Building “We”

We all agree, EQ is important. However, the common problem that leads to under-implementation, under-execution, and under-utilization is not a lack of recognizing EQ’s importance; rather, the challenge has been knowing how to turn EQ skills into habits. Doing this requires a commitment to discomfort, to self-exploration, and ultimately, to re-claiming a shared value that you are are valued as a team members.  Creating these new invisible habits requires more than a single serving of EQ.  Here are six building blocks of the EQ development journey

Build Mindset Skills

Mindset determines how we show up in every situation.

Identify Disruptions

A Disruption is a change to what we thought we knew.

Cultivate Self-Awareness

We comprehend and interpret our situations through multiple dimensions of information: Intellectual, Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual.

Integrate Whole Officer: Situational Identity

We each have Minds, Bodies, Hearts, and Souls. Each part of the whole self must be given consent to be, in order to be wholly present to our situation.

Solidify Psychological Safety

The term Psychological Safety is defined as a belief that one will not be punished, threatened, or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns and mistakes.

Do the Next Right Thing

Do we choose that direction based on serving selfish needs, or do we make that choice based on what is best for everyone involved?
