Tensions and Polarisations – Discovering the different parts in the conflict by understanding the various roles in a conflict, how to maintain fluidity, switch roles and get to the essence of the role
Sitting in the Fire – Noticing and navigating highly charged emotional moments – how to escalate and de-esacalate conflict by recognising hot spots and cool spots
