Clashing with a colleague

Rob was not getting along with his colleague Marie. Their personalities clashed and it seemed like any simple work discussion turned into a debate. Rob didn’t know what to do – he did not want to work with Marie anymore and started looking at other opportunities.

Rob phoned Fair Way and used the Kāpehu workplace coaching session as a sounding board in the first instance. The practitioner discussed their communication pattern and identified how Rob and Marie kept getting caught in the same conflict circle.

The practitioner arranged a follow-up conflict coaching session the following week. Rob learned some new communication tools and they created a plan for Rob to meet with Marie and discuss their workplace issue.
