How can I handle conflict in conversations effectively?

Handling conflict requires active listening, empathy, and clear communication. Can you share a specific situation?

I often argue with my colleague during meetings. What should I do?

Try to focus on understanding their perspective. Acknowledge their points before presenting your own.

What if they don't listen to me?

If they aren't listening, you might need to ask open-ended questions to engage them and encourage dialogue.

That makes sense. How can I stay calm during these discussions?

Practice deep breathing and take a moment to collect your thoughts before responding. It helps maintain composure.
