Conflict Coaching Matters was founded by the authors of Conflict Coaching: Conflict Management Strategies and Skills for the Individual.

We are dedicated to providing conflict coaching services to individuals and organizations, training all levels of conflict coaches, and integrating coaching with other dispute resolution and human development interventions.

What is conflict coaching?

• Conflict coaching is a one-on-one process to develop the client's conflict understanding, interaction strategies and/or interaction skills.
• Conflict coaching can be a benefit to anyone facing an important workplace or personal conflict. It can also be useful for those adapting to a new organizational setting or developing as leaders.

How can conflict coaching be valuable to organizations and individuals?

• Mishandled conflict can derail careers. Talking through conflict issues and carefully considering options with a conflict professional has the potential to greatly enhance career prospects for the coaching client and others.
• Serious conflicts can cost organizations serious money and disrupt the organizational and client climate. Effective early intervention in the form of conflict coaching can stop the financial and human hemorrhaging before it happens.
• There is no stopping conflict but its downside can be minimized and its upside can be maximized. In a complex service economy where innovation, diversity, teamwork, and speed matter, managing conflict effectively really is a basic business practice.
