Think back to the last
major issue that you and your roommates or family had, how did you address this
problem? Well if I think back to any arguments that I have had with my
roommates it definitely wasn't a pleasant experience because it was
mainly amounted to screaming, harsh words, and later feelings of regret and
sometimes embarrassment. This is so common because this is the
way that almost all arguments go, but this past week I really came to
a new understanding of how we should actually counsel. One of the most
important steps is to first, if a it is a major issue you are addressing to
plan a specific time which allows everyone to think about there true feelings
on the situations and not act purely on impulse and passion. Although this is
an extremely and effective practice the key ingredient to any successful
counsel in business, roommates, or in the family is to put away your own
personal agenda. When you do this and your primary focus is the best solution
for everyone you will be far more successful because here you can really see
others perspectives as not competition but ideas that could benefit all. And
the last is to not push the decision because when you do this others may remain
uneasy about the issue and this could hinder the success of the decision. If everyone
is at peace about the choice then you know you have the best solution because
it has been unanimously approved. Overall I thinks its important to remember
that really you need to have the proper time to gather your thoughts, to want
the best outcome for everyone not just yourself, and to allow everyone to endorse
your decision 100% before moving forward.
