Dealing with Difficult Situations
by Tiffany Dahlberg   Tip of the Month
An awareness and understanding of conflict and communication will help us deal with difficult situations. Before we can apply a process, however, we need to learn how to control our behavior when we are emotional and calm other people down. By de- escalating the situation, then attacking the problem, not the person, you can learn and use skills and techniques that will help you more effectively deal with difficult situations.

After you de-escalate the conflict, here are six techniques for dealing with difficult situations:
1. Ask questions
2. Listen attentively
3. Use "I" language
4. Ensure a common understanding
5. Acknowledge the other person's feelings
6. Focus on the solution
These techniques will help you achieve your goals through collaborative problem-solving.

"Thank you for teaching these workshops. I have really enjoyed them. I hope that another series will be offered. You give great ideas and have an excellent teaching style. I enjoy your examples and the way the group feels comfortable speaking up with their own experiences. The group in Wheat Ridge is refreshingly diverse. It shows that you love what you do. Thanks again."
