Nonviolent communication a conflict management

In the work environment, it is hard for colleagues and staff members to agree on everything; disagreement is okay. Educators must be mindful of the 3 R's wasn't sure strategies of work environments and other outcomes conflict management. 

My current position as an instructional aide is to develop lesson plans and strategy for peer mediation. Allowing students to overcome other students problem by active listening and using iMessage or I heard you say this point of view. I have counseled with students and staff members regarding lack of communication in the work environment. When counseling students and staff members, it's important to have an open mindset approach, ensuring positive solutions and outcomes. Applying a win-win solution that both parties can understand and reasoning with one another's opinion or viewpoint. When using the 3 R's just as respecting, the individual opinion (students or staff members) sometimes agreeing or disagreeing with be the first step of dealing with conflict management. I also benefit from learning about the principles of NVC; of being mindful of the situation. Being mindful of the situation in addressing the fact from fiction approach was helpful.

Both parties (students and staff members) address the important decency behavior of overreacting and not reflecting on the outcome or outburst effect on others.

Hello Mohan,
I agree with you that it is hard for colleagues and staff members to agree on everything; disagreement is okay. In the center that I work in we all do not agree and it is okay to disagree but there times that we have to compromise with each other to make it work. Not everyone is going to be happy but that is what life is about making sure that things get down no matter what others think. I think that it is great that your job allows you to make lesson plays for student’s problem. Counseling students and staff members, it's important to have an open mindset approach, ensuring positive solutions and outcomes. I really think that this is a great thing that you have going for the staff and students. I wish more people would do the same thing that you are doing. Yes, the 3 R’s would work the best in this situation. You did a great job on this and I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you

Nice blog Mohan, working with a bunch or women who are very opinionated can sometimes cause conflicts or disagreements in the workforce and in our personal lives as well. Keep up the good work with your staff and students. They should be grateful to have a person like you on their side, and your open mindset will definitely take you along way in life.

I agree that creating positive outcomes and solutions is very important in order for effective communication especially with working with colleagues. There are many situations that I face at work that I believe could have went better if there was effective communication. I currently am the lead in my room and effective communication is hard work but we seem to accomplish it but there are times when communication is not so great and we are able to discuss what needs to done.
