Resolving Financial conflict, everyone can make a difference in building better relationships at home, in the community and in the workplace by observing some simple tips.

Resolving Financial Conflict - How To Get Along Better

- Praise individuals for their thoughtful actions, talking about their good deeds. Overlook the negative and accent the positive.

- Be open to learning new ideas and ways of doing things. Encourage others to be curious. Show empathy and compassion. Remember, there are two sides to every situation, to every argument.

- Walk with someone – in motion together and let your breathing and arm movements get in sync.

- Meet in circle or round table, avoid using square tables which resemble taking sides and distant.

- Talk to person who is getting least attention in a gathering. No one likes to feel alone.

- Get to know people you meet. Ask questions and show interest in their work, their customs, their language, their disability, etc.

- Share stories and experiences. We are all interested in learning that others have similar happy and painful times.

- Avoid telling jokes making fun of others or make them look inferior or unintelligent.

Step Back when Frustrated

When you can't see eye to eye with another person, having conflict is usually counter-productive. Step back, take break. Many times we react in irrational ways due to circumstances we have encountered during our day; we may be just hungry, or have higher priorities. I practice "loving words first". Say something positive before going negative.
