Or even about finding a compromise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often despite \u201cimpossible odds\u201d, Ken Cloke has facilitated successful conflict mediation around the world for almost four decades and has written numerous books on the subject. In this episode, we illuminate the true mission of mediation to resolve conflict. He shares a conflict resolution approach known as \u201cthe third ground\u201d that belongs in any nonprofit leader\u2019s toolkit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it may not seem possible initially, Ken shares that a resolution can ALWAYS be reached. He speaks from deep experience. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, through the prism of his expertise, he offers principles and the power of asking the right questions that can uncover empathy, understanding, and yes, a satisfying resolution in which neither party has to lose for the other to gain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every single nonprofit leader can benefit from this frank conversation. Ken provides us with gems that can help all of us who navigate tough conversations and mutually opposing beliefs, in service to making the world a better place for us all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"data-monday-blocks-wrapper\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a conflict, how people feel is more important than what they want.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prime goal is to embrace differences and exchange views.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To shift from a conversation about rights to values can illuminate compelling commonality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As leaders, there is an important belief to debunk: that someone must lose for anyone to win.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conflict Revolution<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and what does it look like?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>About Ken:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ken Cloke is a world-recognized mediator, dialogue facilitator, conflict resolution systems designer, teacher, trainer, author and public speaker.
