Resolve is the fuel to discipline. I just wanted to say this video is granting me the power within myself to start working out, making a name for myself, and strive to be a better person. When I have internal conflicts like if I don't want to do something for example, I observe listen and dissolve the emotion while at an appropriate state of mind in order to come to a resolve. Through this resolving method I thank you.

This advise truly helped in a mediation that I just facilitated. Thank you!

I 100% agree with you. I've created my own process that is similar to yours. The "Energy transference" has helped both myself and whoever I'm speaking with to remain calm and focus on the facts AND a realistic solution. When dealing with a company - always ask for formal documentation of XYZ (this makes them soooo much more agreeable)!

Delivery was on point. The steps are realistic and actionable. Thank you

[khaiahmann]

This was good. ✨
And asking if all parties want to actually work the issue out, is key for sure.

[mikecamacho]

Most conflicts come from implied expectations. And not having definitive agreements. Seneca(4BC-65AD) Talks about how unmet expectations, is the cause of anger.

[chrisshackelford]

[lucian]

Solid walkthrough. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

[shawnaT]

I wanted to do this with my partner but he thought it was stupid and basically the same as just hashing it out in the moment...

I don't think how you can talk about conflict without talking about justice. I don't think you can reduce it to energy exchange. Yes, having people in emotional state where they can listen actively to the other party but it is just defines desirable terms to which to hear each other.

who else got this as a English class assignment

All this is well and good, but when your government puts guns in the hands of the population it is clearly not supporting conflict resolution by negotiation. It is clearly supporting violence as the next step after conflict occurs. The government as the acting parent of the country should be doing all it can to help its population to make good decisions by not giving its population guns and making it clear that violence is never the answer to conflict. Then knowledge like this TED Talk might mean something.

Is YouTube just filtering out all the negative comments?

Lmao my teacher mad at me now the whole class hates me :')
