The beauty of conflict | Clair Canfield | TEDxUSU

For many, conflict is considered a negative experience and an indication that something has gone wrong. When viewed from that perspective it frequently creates interactions that leave us feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. In this talk, Clair identifies some of the ways we get stuck in the trap of justification and also provides hope for a new way of approaching conflict. This different approach unlocks the possibilities of conflict and empowers us to create the change we want in the world around us, in our relationships, places of work, communities, and most of all within ourselves.
Clair Canfield is a consultant and lecturer at Utah State University with degrees in Communication Studies and a graduate certification in alternative dispute resolution.
Initially inspired by his own struggles with conflict, Clair is committed to changing the way people think and feel about conflict. “Conflict holds up a mirror to our deepest needs and most cherished hope and it is the doorway of opportunity for creating the change we want in our life,” Clair stated. “It is common to feel trapped and stuck when we experience conflict, but there is a way out!”
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    The three pillars of CONFLICT 1. When its about the dishes, its not about the dishes 2. We can get stuck - the seduction of justification 3. The art of speaking resposibly - like learning a new language Solution: V ulnerability O wnership C ommunication A cceptance B oundaries Conflict can be the engine of rejuvenation and creating better versions of ourselves! Amazing conversation

There was a day when class got cancelled, and I ran into him in a hallway and we ended up talking for 45 min just as friends about the things in this video. Total mentor and a great guy

    You are not a terrible person. You have just found a gap in your emotional self that now you are aware of, you can start working on and growing. No body is perfect, just because we don't know something, it doesn't immediately make you 'bad'. You are worthy of love and respect. Keep going.

    do not say that conflict starts smaller but grow bigger than one can imagine. so conflict become an opportunity for new constructive resolutions when it treated well as soon as possible. however, it becomes a real fight when concerned parties neglect it and keep silence like nothing is happening. pls, handle your conflict before it handles you.
