Conflict Coaching is a specialized one-on-one process that helps clients optimize the way they engage in their interpersonal disputes. The CINERGY® model of conflict management integrates executive coaching, conflict management and neuroscience principles.Conflict Coaching is a dynamic seven stage process that is specifically designed to help clients improve their conflict management skills and abilities according to each person’s individual and specific goals.
In workplaces, CINERGY conflict management coaching helps to reduce the high cost of conflict. It is a process that supports an organizational culture that values effective conflict management as a core proficiency, by assisting leaders and other members of the South Texas College community to:
- resolve their interpersonal disputes independently and as close to the source, as possible
- prepare for challenging conversations
- prevent unnecessary conflict from escalating
- shift unproductive conflict reactions, to constructive responses
- manage their adverse reactions to conflict
Conflict management coaching may be used in other contexts, such as to assist clients with interpersonal conflict in their personal lives. Whether for personal or professional reasons, this form of coaching also assists people to participate in mediation, negotiations and other Alternative Dispute Resolution processes.

Conflict Resilience Quotient
Something that happens to many of us in the aftermath of interpersonal conflict is a tendency to agonize about what happened. We may criticize ourselves – wishing we had said something else or differently. We may blame the other person and not let go of our feelings about him or her. We may continue to ruminate about unresolved hurts and issues. We may make the situation bigger than it was, or try to minimize it while still experiencing a huge impact that we try to suppress. This questionnaire looks at some variables to consider about your conflict resilience. Download the self-assessment
