Get Conflict Under Control

Did you miss the High-Heeled Success^® workshop, “Kick Conflict to the Curb” on November 1?

It was a power-packed, career-changing day for all the participants. Here are just a few of the useful strategies you missed on coping with criticism:

1. Weigh It! How you respond should be based on the critic’s motivation. Was the intent to assist your growth, or was the critic “out to get you,” or worse yet boost their own lagging ego?
2. Delve Into It! If they really had your best interest at heart, look for the kernel of truth and internalize it/act on it.
3. Ditch It! If you determine the intent was malicious, or just to boost the critic’s ego, ignore it and refuse to let it into your psyche.

If you want to boost your career success, take it from me, coaching with Kay Fittes is the way to go!! Since working individually with Ms. Fittes, my self-awareness has skyrocketed. Working with Kay is like having a mirror held up, allowing me to become clear on behaviors that I didn’t know were holding me back. I have taken charge of my career by:

• Interacting more assertively with men
• Creating a more proactive style
• Identifying and asking for what I want and need

Bottom line, my credibility and influence has increased at work, in my high level volunteer position and even in my personal life.

High-Heeled Success^® supports Dress for Success through donations of clothing, time and money. We offer complimentary seats at every workshop for women participating in the Dress for Success program.

Three Steps to Handling Conflict

1. Reframe your work conflict, by thinking of it as two people with conflicting viewpoints, rather than having a conflict or battle with someone.
2. Avoid triangular communication, which is discussing the problem with someone other than the person with whom you have the issue. Find the courage to speak directly to the person, and calmly address the issue.
3. State your issue politely, but with authority, and make your desired needs or outcomes known to the other person, then let them respond. Remember to remain calm, and do not apologize for standing your ground.
