haha I didn't realise I had written fight- this does sound 'violent', but even if I had said tackle, it would sound the same but conflict doesn't have to be violent, indeed without conflict (non violent conflict) we would never change anything or learn from each other!

<p>I had to stop and think of what metaphor to use when I picked "plant the seeds" as I did not want to use a violent choice as admittedly I first thought of the word "combat."</p>

<p>Jo,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some great comments and I would like to reflect on the section I quoted above. Starting with the last word and contagion. I think contagion is something very important and very real. Admittedly I have done some research and read lots of it on emotional contagion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Emotional contagion combined with our professional role as conflict specialists (i.e. mediator, ombuds, coach, negotiator, etc.) allows us to be guides during a conflict or dispute as well as potentially being that guide in a proactive manner. If we help guide others, specifically through our actions (don't forget nonverbal), we can help 'plant the seeds' of the non-selfish mind and actions.</p>

<p>Sure, it's an endless task but we (at least me!) chose this profession :)</p> Hi Jo. Great response. I wond…tag:www.adrhub.com,2011-06-15:4905899:Comment:187342011-06-15T02:25:22.850ZLynsee Swisherhttp://www.adrhub.com/profile/LynseeSwisher
Hi Jo. Great response. I wonder if a society that is so focused on the individual can ever move to the collective? In asking that, are their any societies that work from the collective and I wonder what their perspectives of jerks in the workplace would be.<br />

Thanks Lynsee
