Mindfulness-Based Conflict Resolution (MBCR)

Conflicts within groups and businesses are commonly perceived and addressed as adversarial, isolated negative problems to resolve quickly. Although that may be successful in terms of negotiating surface gains and losses, the underlying causes of conflict aren’t deemed relevant or necessary to explore. However, if the broader picture of what caused conflict to erupt in the first place isn’t brought into the open, the likelihood of problems rising again are high. When disempowering policies or destructive behaviors aren’t replaced with more effective, and inclusive ones, the inner and outer status quo continue, the company tribe suffers - and so do its customers.

The price of ignoring the realities of workplace conflict, as well as not training employees and supervisors in managing it well, is so great that it simply cannot be dismissed as an unnecessary or frivolous expense – even in these challenging economic times. Prevention is much more cost-effective and empowering than cleaning up messes after the fact – and sometimes the damage to both individual and team morale and productivity is irreparable as well as financially devastating.

Mindfulness-Based Conflict Resolution (MBCR) can result in a more cooperative, civil and humane environment in which all parties are more likely to realize their true individual potential as well as work together more effectively and creatively. By learning mindful techniques and practices to approach conflict and communication challenges, all parties can proactively – instead of reactively – transform conflict into opportunity for individual and collective growth, which will extend outward to all aspects of their lives and result in less stress and greater overall well being and happiness.
