The Interpersonal Conflict Resolution Styles are: The Direct Style, The Step by Step Style, The Idea Generator, The Harmonizer.
Each style has its strengths and weaknesses. Knowing your style and the style of the person you are having a conflict with can go a long way toward resolving differences and creating a win-win solution.

There is no greater joy than living a life of your own design. It's not rocket science, but it does require that you take responsiblity for your life. Stop being a bystander and get on the playing field of your life.
If you're ready to start playing, contact me. Your life will never be the same.
You are in fact your own creation -- why would you create yourself as anyone other than who you want to be?
The Structure for Support process is easy, but it does take some time and effort. I will work with you step by step as you create an overall vision for your life, and then from that vision, develop a plan that encompasses and balances all the areas of your life. The final task will be to execute the plan. I will help you create structures that will support you in actually taking the actions you are committed to, so that you fulfill on your vision and are living a life you love.
How Many Sessions Will It Take to Complete the Structure for Support Process?
Typically we meet every week or two weeks. The Structure for Support materials are designed to take you through the full process in six sessions (seven for couples). In that time, provided you have completed certain steps on your own, you will have created an overall vision for your life and a detailed plan balancing all the areas of your life. In addition, you will have begun to embed that plan into the fabric of your life.
Structure for Support teaches a process that you can continue to use for the rest of your life. What will remain to be done after the first series sessions is to maintain the momentum you started. This includes refining your goals and activities over time, so that the process is always fresh and providing you exactly what you want.
After the six sessions are over, you will be equipped to continue the process on your own. However, if you find that our working together helps to keep you on track as you refine your plan and practice living your life by design, we can develop a going-forward plan appropriate to your needs and desires. However the goal, in any case, remains the same: to empower you to live a life you love -- for your whole life.
