#58 | Jane Gunn | Conflict to Connection: Mastering De-Escalation & Moving Toward Resolution
In this episode, hosts Dr. Andrea & and are joined by the esteemed Jane Gunn, known as the "Barefoot Mediator," to explore the intricate dynamics of conflict resolution.
Jane, a globally recognized expert in mediation, shares her valuable insights into understanding and navigating conflict through four core theories: power, rights, needs, and interaction breakdown. She emphasizes the importance of self-exploration, active listening, and emotional intelligence in managing conflicts effectively, both personally and professionally.
With anecdotes and analogies, such as the "red button resolution" to halt escalating disputes, Jane illustrates practical strategies for fostering empathy, dialogue, and self-determination. Tune in to learn how these principles can transform your approach to conflict, whether in the boardroom or at home, and join the movement toward becoming a "resolutionary" in your community.
