The experience of conflict is

Communication Sins and Communication Wins
COMMUNICATION SINS are weapons that shut down effective
communication. They hurt the other person’s feelings, diminish their
ability to ‘hear’ you, curtail their desire to do the things you are
requesting and can do irreparable damage to your relationships.
COMMUNICATION WINS are tools that assist effective
communication. They demonstrate appropriate respect for the other
person’s thoughts, feelings and opinions. This ensures that you are
‘heard’, increases the other person’s willingness to consider and
accede to your requests and foster successful and happy
relationships.
