"Coaching as a Strategy for Peace: Conscious Relationship with Self and Others"

Humans engage in conflict from fear of loss. This could be loss of anything; loss of face, of money, of land, of history, of power, of love, of one’s or someone else’s life. The bigger the stakes, the more lethal the conflict. The problem is that often we are not honest about what we are terrified to lose.

What if vulnerability was our greatest strength? What if all parties in a conflict saw themselves as part of a system with many voices, a system that is trying to change and can’t because it is stuck in “being right” for fear of loss? What if each of those parties became more conscious of the truth of their individual fear and was willing to speak it?

This presentation will play with these and other questions regarding how coaching can create conversations that remove barriers to conscious, peaceful relationship.
