Why does a quarrel over a parking space so often turn into a fight about respect? This course starts from the idea that conflict is normal and that what matters is how people handle it. You will learn to tell a position from the interest underneath it, to spot the moment a dispute starts to escalate, and to know your walk-away option before you sit down to bargain.
Along the way come mediators, apologies that work, Quaker-style consensus, and the slow work of rebuilding trust after violence. Each lesson ends with a worked case you can try on your own disagreements.
