Conflict coaching is solution-oriented

In our working lives, conflicts are inevitable. Conflict coaching offers a structured way to process and resolve difficult or stressful situations. A key aspect of conflict coaching is defining a common goal and pursuing it concretely. As a coach, I maintain a neutral position between the parties and remain committed to the agreed objective. Conflict coaching can be conducted individually, with two people, or with a team.

Conflict coaching in an individual setting

Individual conflict coaching typically follows three key steps:

1. Conflict diagnosis – analysing the situation

Key questions include:

• What is the issue?
• What events led up to the conflict?
• How far has the situation escalated?
• Is a collaborative resolution still possible?
• How can I process the conflict independently if a joint resolution is not feasible?
• What is my exit strategy?

2. Exploring options for responding and behaving in the conflict situation

• Developing strategies to approach the conflict constructively
• Identifying alternative ways to engage or react

3. Preparing for next steps

• Planning a conflict dialogue or follow-up actions

Two-person conflict coaching

This setting provides a constructive framework for a clarifying conversation. I facilitate conflict dialogues, structure the discussion, and draw on my experience and tools to support resolution. The aim is to create a collaborative process that enables both parties to engage safely and productively.

Moderation of team conflicts

When conflicts involve teams or groups, I offer moderation or a broader team development process to support resolution. These methods help structure discussions, clarify perspectives, and work towards constructive outcomes.
