Do you have the resources to resolve conflict and build trust? How do you resolve conflict with emotional intelligence? How do you navigate difficult conversations?
Kristine Scott is a Conflict Resolution Specialist and the Chief Trainer at Seattle Conflict Resolution. She started volunteering in shelters where she used to work with young people.
As a young white woman from a small town, she was not ready to run a meal program for young people without housing. There were constant fights, threats, and thefts. Kristine would either over or under-react (the aggressive authoritarian, or the spineless twit). Feeling powerless in the face of her own fight/flight/freeze reaction, she began watching how her clients handled conflict. These folks lived outside and dealt with real threats to their lives every day. Kristine learned that her threat assessor was lying to her. She was not differentiating between lethal and non-lethal situations. It required years for her to find a path where she was not reacting but responding compassionately.
Kristine spent years improving her conflict response and training others. These monthly training sessions soon started drawing people from all over. She now operates Seattle Conflict Resolution full-time, after incorporating it in 2018.
She is now a nationally recognized trainer and internationally lauded speaker on conflict management. Her mission is to help others skip the mistakes she made. We are each capable of bringing our best selves into hard situations. Kristine is a leader who believes we cannot achieve excellence without equity. Whether training people in conflict response, innovating new programs, advocating for public policy, or leading teams, she centers those she serves.
Do you ever have angry customers that your team can't handle? Kristine and her team will increase customer satisfaction while training your team on safely handling the most unruly people with confidence.
On this episode, Kristine shares how her volunteer work introduced her to different conflict techniques and resources. She now works with organizations to help their teams prepare for conflict, even for such things as wearing masks.
Listen as Kristine shares:
- how to create the ideal relationship outcome
- deescalation techniques to help calm tense situations
- the Fight-Flight-Freeze responses and your reaction to perceived threats
- how feeling disempowered as children affects our self-esteem as we grow older
- how unprocessed trauma is stored in the body and long-term memory
- how to build trust in relationships and in business
- the body and threat assessors and how to manage them
- how our insecurities create conflict and contribute to hostility
- the true definition of POWER when in conflict situations
- why stress and exhaustion makes us choices based on implicit bias
- the real cost of unresolved conflict in the workplace
- conflict resolution strategies in the workplace and in person
...and so much more!

Hello and welcome to this episode of the Speaking and Communicating podcast.
Today we are joined by Alison Arnoff - a Communications Coach who spent 30 years in the Tech industry. She is originally from Chicago and now lives in California.
Both confidence and effective communication are necessary. Leaders need to actively learn to include introverts in the room and encourage them to speak up.
The 4 stages of confident communication:
1. Mindset - believe that what you have to say is worth hearing
2. Preparation - be clear about your intention and outcome. Understand your audience.
3. Execution - how you deliver your speech (intonation, pauses, pace, vocal variety); listening; model the behavior you hope others display
4. Growth - learning from your previous experiences, always constantly improving, having cheerleaders and champions who give you feedback that propels you towards growth
Who are your champions and challengers? What do you need to let go of in order to effectively communicate? How do you take away the power of your "Siegmund Frauds"?
How do you give constructive feedback? How understanding of you when those who give feedback aren't doing it in a manner that you are usually receptive to?

What does your brand communicate? Is it communicating what you intend for it to?
More than 30 years ago in Chapman's Peak in Cape Town, a car accident involving a Mercedes Benz driver took place. Fortunately, the driver survived and the Mercedes Benz was also left in one piece, after a 100 meter rocky fall towards the Atlantic Ocean. Mercedes Benz went on a grandiose ad campaign with the incident, to prove the supremacy of its engineering.
Not long after that, in came BMW with a response to Chapman's Peak.
Watch both ads on YouTube in order to get the full picture. Feel free to share your thoughts and how it helps you think about what your branding strategy is. As BMW asks the question at the end, "Doesn't it make sense to beat the bends?"...what a pun!
ENJOY!

Getting out of your comfort zone can be challenging for all of us. Over the years I witnessed one of my bosses move up the corporate ladder because of his willingness to learn presentation skills and improve his communication with clients.
On this episode, we ask the question - do you want to be a "Parker pen retiree" or potentially participate in company profit-sharing? The choice remains yours!
Everyone feels that they have so much on their plates. There are not enough hours in the day. Why should they take the time to develop communication skills? What benefit would that be for them? Join us on this episode as we answer the question - are communication skills important?
Communication may mean speaking and articulating our thoughts and feelings. However, even more importantly, is the art of listening. We have 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. Let us learn to use them in proportion. This will revolutionize both our personal and professional relationships!
Welcome to the Speaking and Communicating podcast. This is a trailer that introduces the podcast and what to look forward to in the upcoming episodes.
