Why “other people” are to blame when conflict occurs and how not to BRAG (Blame, Revenge, Anger, Guilt) about it when it happens! Free Zoom Webinar, 17 May

The world is full of other people.  This is a fact.

And whilst some of them occasionally do useful and constructive things a lot of them seem to have nothing better to do than cause problems and conflict, especially for you!

It is uncertain where these other people came from originally, but the French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said “Hell is other people” so maybe there’s a clue right there?

Anyway, we all have to deal with these “other people” and the problems they cause so what are some of the strategies we can apply when dealing with them and “their” problems that they offload onto us?

Well one of the things we tend to do when faced with problems is to look back to where the problem came from or what caused it and that then causes us to react to the problem and often do one or even all of these four things about it:

Blame

Revenge

Anger

Guilt

Or BRAG for short.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of Conflict.

None of these emotional reactions help because they are caused by the problem (or indeed may even create the problem!) and don’t in any way alleviate or make the problem or conflict go away.  In fact they generally make it worse.

Einstein said that you can’t solve the problem from the same level of thinking that created it in the first place.  He was right!

Or another way of saying this is – the answer is not where the problem is.

The answer is where the problem isn’t!

In this free Zoom Webinar we shall be looking at some simple, powerful and effective strategies for dealing with other people and the problems they cause and finding solutions and remedies rather than forever BRAGGING on about how right we are and how wrong they are and vice versa and thereby only making the problem worse.

For – if you stop looking at the “problem” for long enough, then you stop seeing it.

And in its place you start to see things like opportunities, solutions, remedies, healing, forgiveness, compassion, hope, light at the end of the tunnel and not the tunnel itself and thus the future and not the past.

Hopefully, it will be an interesting, enjoyable, and practical session together.

All are welcome.
