Are You an Active Listener?
• Has anyone ever told you that you weren’t listening?
• Have you ever asked others to repeat themselves, because your mind had wandered?
• Have you ever been embarrassed because you gave the wrong answer to a question when you weren’t listening?
• Have you ever taken a mental “leave of absence” while someone was speaking?
• Has anyone ever asked you whether you’re paying attention?

Expect Conflict
• Conflict is inevitable• Early indicators of conflict can be recognized• Conflict involves people resolving issues that are
important to them• Conflict causes authentic communication• Conflict builds cooperation among people through
learning more about each other • Conflict helps people develop understanding and
skills • Although inevitable, conflict can be minimized,
diverted, and/or resolved

Create a Conflict Resolution Process
• Determine which issues must be resolved in order for the partners to do their work. Stay focused.
• Decide who will facilitate the process for resolving the conflict
• Define the conflict separate from the concepts of right and wrong
• Make sure everyone is heard
• Create rituals for healing and forgiveness
• Document the conflict resolutions

Resolve the Irresolvable
• Call a meeting between the warring factions using a neutral facilitator to settle the dispute
• Create a working agreement between the parties and agree to disagree
• Ask people of influence who are associated with each of the factions to intervene
• Consider alerting funders and donors• Work without or around the warring factions

When to Use an Outside Facilitator
• Group leaders are directly involved in the conflict• The group is not skilled in conflict resolution• Impartiality is essential• Not all members of the group see the conflict• Cultural equity needs to be ensured• Resources allow hiring a practitioner• A neutral volunteer is available• The group wants conflict management instruction

Review
• Make sure your message is clear• Practice active listening• Acknowledge the viewpoints of others, even if you disagree• Use specific language, especially when providing guidance
and asking for feedback• Ask questions to make sure your message is understood,
or to clarify points you are uncertain about• Make sure your body language delivers the same message
as your words• Think before you speak or write• Keep your language simple and format brief
