Conflict often shows up in relationships. Especially for those who have been through some form of childhood trauma or been at boarding school.We weren't taught how to resolve conflict in a heart-centred way. Instead we learned to avoid conflict at all costs. For many it was seen as dangerous.But there is a positive and life affirming way to resolve difficulties in relationships with others.And today's guest, Kimberly Best, who is an expert in this field leads us through the key principles of conflict management.A really fascinating conversation.---Kimberly Best is a civil mediator and is currently serving her second term on the board of the Tennessee Association of Professional Mediators as Chair/President. She also have over 4 decades as a licensed registered nurse and an MA from the Institute of Conflict Management, Lipscomb University.Areas to talk about:I would love for you to share some of your journey. How did you get into the work you now do?Men and interpersonal conflict. Why do men keep so much stored up inside themselves?What are some of the of rules and expectations that we put on men?What do we need to do instead of instilling rules and expectations?How important is it to be heard without judgement and validated, so much locked emotion comes out. It is sacred to share those moments. Can you please share some tips on conflict management, the emotional experience and/or why we do conflict like we do?Can you please talk about how conflict is normal.It's a sign of a problem to solve and just because people don't agree with us doesn't mean they're against us - it means they're different from us. I talk about the cost of right/wrong, win/lose; the stories we tell ourselves about the other person; the uselessness of blame. One of the most common for men is trying to mitigate for someone else's feelings - a commitment to “not upset.”I talk about being honest about what goes on with us and letting the other person feel however they need to.  Conflict resolution is about the “what next?”   I also really like to talk about using mediation as a tool for conflict resolution - at work and with interpersonal relationships. #conflictmanagement #conflictresolution #boardingschooltrauma #complexptsdTo find out more about her please visit: https://www.bestconflictsolutions.com/mediation-practice--- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

Is it possible to prepare for peaceful grieving? In this episode, I'm joined by Kimberly Best, a Civil and Family Mediator, Author, Speaker, Conflict Management and Mediation Specialist, and Coach. Kimberly thrives on helping others solve their conflicts in non-litigious ways, working tirelessly to find optimal solutions for all parties. In her book, "How To Live Forever," she takes the reader through a humanized guide on how to be prepared and ready to make difficult decisions and deal with end-of-life issues with ease, peace, and without headaches and unpleasant surprises. Throughout our conversation, we discuss the importance of acknowledging we are all going to die, and the sooner we sort things out and prepare for that moment, the better. Kimberly talks about her mediation, conflict-solving, and nursing background, how making peace with the idea of dying frees our minds, and the importance of having conversations about death with our loved ones before it is too late. Additionally, we discuss her book "How to Live Forever, A Guide to Writing the Final Chapter of Your Life Story," what inspired her to write it, why we should ask more questions in our medical consultations, and much more.

Kimberly Best is a registered nurse who spent over two decades working in various intensive care units, trauma centers, and emergency departments. She pursued graduate school in clinical community psychology but found it unfulfilling and returned to nursing. After her brother introduced her to transformative mediation, she went on to study conflict management and currently specializes in mediation, facilitation, and restorative practices for peace building.Kimberly highlights that end-of-life care should be focused on the patient's quality of life and ability to do what matters to them, rather than on painful treatments that can be cruel and rob patients of a peaceful and dignified ending. She highlights the importance of addressing conflicts sooner rather than later and embracing mediation as an alternative to the legal process to avoid a long, drawn-out and acrimonious situation.Kimberly also touches on the important theme of estrangement and how it can impact end-of-life conversations. She emphasizes the importance of identifying what is important to all parties involved and notes that reflecting on how we dealt with conflict growing up can affect the way we deal with it now.Please connect with Kimberly wherever you find her:Website: https://www.bestconflictsolutions.com/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kimberlybestmediatorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestconflictsolutionsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimberly_a_best/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kimberly_a_bestAlignable: https://www.alignable.com/franklin-tn/best-conflict-solutions

Are you challenged by conflict? Do you have what it takes to be a successful mediator? If you feel like you are constantly navigating a maze of disagreements, misunderstandings, and hard feelings, know that you are not alone. Conflict is a significant part of human interaction, and it's particularly present in our professional lives. After all, we spend more than a third of our lives in the workplace, a space that brings together different personalities, perspectives, and values. When conflicts arise, as they inevitably do, they can be buried, mishandled or left unresolved, marring our experience and performance.In this episode, we delve into an in-depth exploration of the nature of conflict and its role in both our professional and personal lives. We attempt to unpack the complexities and dimensions of conflict, looking at its root causes, its evolution, and its potential to catalyze change and growth. Rather than viewing conflict as an undesirable aspect of our lives that needs to be eradicated, we aim to understand it as an integral part of human relationships that, when handled properly, can lead to innovation, empathy, and collaboration.With Kimberly's expert guidance, this episode will equip you with a fresh perspective and effective tools to transform how you perceive and handle conflict in your personal and professional life.THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOWWhat is involved in mediation?

Timestamps: The Power of Gratitude [00:00:00] Gratitude is a tool that helps mitigate life's challenges and empowers individuals to have options other than the bad things that happen. Conflict as an Opportunity for Growth [00:03:52] Conflict is normal and an opportunity to grow and learn more about oneself and others. It is not about who is right or wrong, but about learning and understanding. Dealing with Conflict in Personal Relationships [00:09:15] When dealing with conflict, it is important to identify the problem to be solved and the need that needs to be met. It is not about making the other person the problem, but coming from a place of vulnerability and understanding. Identifying the problem [00:10:09] Kimberly Best talks about how identifying the problem is the first step in solving it together. Valuing the relationship over being right [00:11:19] The speakers discuss how valuing the relationship is more important than being right in a conflict. Avoiding conflict [00:17:10] Kimberly Best shares her experience with being conflict avoidant and how honesty is key in resolving conflicts. Sharing and Verbalizing [00:19:44] The benefits of sharing and verbalizing our problems with others to gain perspective and reduce their perceived magnitude. Conflict in the Workplace [00:23:25] Discussion of how workplace conflicts can be similar to personal conflicts, including the importance of getting to know colleagues on a personal level and having a voice in the workplace. Seeing the Present from a Lens of the Past [00:28:01] The negative impact of seeing the present through the lens of past conflicts and how it can prevent resolution and growth in relationships. Conflict can be an opportunity for growth [00:28:57] Kimberly Best discusses how conflict can be an opportunity for growth and how to approach conflict in personal relationships, family, and business. People can change [00:29:47] The host shares a story about a business leader who changed in a year, and Kimberly Best adds that people can change, and we should not define them based on their worst moment. The impact of negative behavior [00:34:18] Kimberly Best talks about the impact of negative behavior and how our natural instincts are to protect ourselves, avoid being hurt, and want to be right. She emphasizes the need to be aware of ourselves and the impact of our actions on our relationships. Symbolic Release [00:39:13] Kimberly Best suggests writing down past hurts and burning the paper as a symbolic way of letting go. She also recommends picturing a foggy globe and putting concerns in it, then handing it out to the universe. Gratitude as Conflict Mitigation [00:44:53] Gratitude is a tool that helps mitigate life's challenges and empowers individuals to have options other than the bad thing that's happening to them. It is short-term work for long-term freedom. Taking a Pause [00:46:27] When feeling emotional and angry, taking a pause is the best tool to use. It allows individuals to see more than their side and reflect on what was going on with them instead of what was going on with the other person. How to Live Forever [00:47:27] Kimberly Best talks about her book "How to Live Forever" which is a guide to writing the final chapter of your life story.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
