Three approaches to owning your conflicts 146
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We talk about owning your conflict, but what does it mean to 'own' your conflict? Consider these three meanings of ownership: 1. personal, 2. interpersonal, and 3. using your conflict competencies. Use all three to help you self-regulate, show up for others, and improve the quality of your relationships.
