The role of a conflict coach varies of course, depending on the circumstances and client’s objectives – though a behavioural approach has been found helpful. For instance, one of the functions of a conflict or mediation coach in preparing a party for a conflict situation is to help the client anticipate possible reactions from the other participant and to engage him or her in pre-formulating effective ways to respond to anticipated counter arguments. Coaches can act as “the other side” and provide feedback that helps the person in his/her efforts to respond to a challenging interaction in a “practice” scenario – before facing the opposing party under the more stressful circumstances of a face to face meeting.
Experiential exercises of this nature help the individual to effectively conduct themselves within conflict situations and beyond the process itself. That is, this process further helps the person to learn how to more effectively participate in constructive conflict conversations and gain insights and skills that extend beyond the specific dispute. Commonly, conflict coaching also occurs after the conflict situation, to assist a participant with any adverse impact and to ensure the experience results in sustainable learning – turning potential negatives into a positive outcome.
The role of coaching a party to a mediation may also extend beyond the behind-the-scenes function, to actually sitting at the table. This then crosses over into more of a Facilitator role – something Re:Solve Mediation offers in the Vancouver area.
Conflict management coaching is used primarily in the organizational context. However, conflict resolution Coaching also helps anyone who needs to enhance their competency in conflict management and engage effectively on a one-on-one basis with another person. Business partners and associates, life partners, family members and others are potential participants, as are lawyers, union representatives and others who interact as “agents” in mediation and want to enhance their skills, their competence and their confidence.
Conflict management coaching is a dispute resolution mechanism that assists people on a personal basis to improve their ability to participate effectively in conflict conversation. This process helps people to learn more about themselves and how to deal with conflict effectively, enabling them to shift their conflict conduct in a dispute, as well as other situations that arise.
As conflict coaching continues to develop within the dispute resolution and coaching fields, the likelihood is that a range of concepts will be creatively applied in various contexts including specifically Conflict Coaching. It is probable, that a more formalized structure and related body of work, practices and procedures will develop on a one-on-one basis and within a conflict Coaching context.
