1. What Happened Conversation: Focuses on what actually occurred, often involving disagreements about facts and interpretations.2. Feelings Conversation: Addresses the emotions involved, which are often hidden but critical to understanding the full picture.3.Identity Conversation: Concerns how the situation affects your self-image, self-esteem, and personal identity

Recognize the Three Conversations

- Approach the conversation with curiosity and a desire to understand the other person’s perspective. - Avoid assuming you have all the facts or that your interpretation is the only correct one.

Shift to a Learning Stance

- Understand that each person has their own story or perspective on the situation. - Share your perspective and invite the other person to share theirs.

Explore Each Other's Stories

- Acknowledge and articulate your own emotions without blame. - Create a safe space for the other person to express their feelings as well.

Express Feelings Appropriately

- Move away from assigning blame and instead focus on how each person may have contributed to the situation.  - Understanding contributions can lead to solutions and prevent defensiveness.

Reframe Blame to Contribution

- Identify how both parties' actions, decisions, and behaviors contributed to the current situation. - Look at patterns and dynamics rather than isolated incidents.

Map the Contribution System

- Recognize that the impact of actions can differ from the intent behind them. - Discuss both the intent and the impact to clarify misunderstandings.

Disentangle Intent from Impact

- Show empathy and validate the other person’s feelings. - Address underlying needs and concerns to find common ground.

Acknowledge the Other Person's Feelings and Needs

Problem-Solve Together

- Reflect on your own feelings and contributions before entering the conversation. - Consider the best time and setting for a productive discussion.

Prepare for the Conversation

- Keep the lines of communication open even after the initial conversation.  - Be willing to revisit the discussion as needed to ensure a lasting resolution.
