About this e-learning material

This material explores why disagreements happen and what tends to make them escalate. You read about common patterns such as defensiveness, blame and withdrawal, and learn practical ways to slow a conversation down, stay with the actual issue and express your view without attacking the other person.

The topics include recognising your own triggers, listening for what the other person needs, choosing the right time to talk, finding workable compromises and repairing trust after an argument. Short reflections and exercises help you practise these ideas in real situations at home, with friends or at work.

It suits anyone who feels uneasy with conflict, tends to keep quiet to keep the peace, or wishes they had handled a recent argument differently. You can work through each level at your own pace.
