A Turtle or a Skunk?
Conflict brings out our natural defense mechanisms.If you tend to avoid or hide from it, then you’re probably like a turtle…the ever fearful animal tucks his head into the safety of his shell at the first sign of trouble.At the other extreme is the skunk…that nasty creature whose response is to spew out a horrendous odor that lets everyone around him know how he’s feeling.It’s better to be like the wise owl, whose eyes and ears are open wide to his surroundings.He only reacts when he’s sure of what’s going on around him.Join me on my blog for a simple and effective way to deal with conflict.
