Questions to Consider • How would you define empathy? • What do you think empathy has to do with conflict resolution?

Telling My Side of the Story • Take ownership of your thoughts, opinions and feelings • Say “I think….” Rather than “People say that…” • Say “I feel …” Rather than “Everyone else feels…” • State the facts that are involved in the situation and that impact your thoughts, opinions, and feelings. • If you think it will help, state your reasons for thinking or feeling the way you do. • If you think it will help, tell the person what you want to happen. • REMEMBER: Listen carefully and show that you understand the perspective of the other person.
