Fair Solutions to Hard Problems

Brian Muldoon ~ Making sense of conflict.

It seems that conflict is an inevitable part of the human experience. We are fallible. We make mistakes. Sometimes we do things that we’re not proud of and people get hurt. Sometimes we are betrayed or unfairly accused. And sometimes people change and we are left to pick up the pieces.

For the past forty years Brian Muldoon has been guiding clients through the turbulent waters of conflict—as a mediator, coach, trial lawyer or teacher.

Conflict demands that we respond. Instinct gives a choice between fight or flight, but the wisdom of our soul counsels that something more is possible…

 

Book Excerpt

“Conflict itself is not the problem. Conflict is woven into the fundamental fabric of nature. The sea and the land meet in violent conflict and make waves together. The plow turns the meadow and wheat springs forth. Conflict is liable to be present wherever we go. It shows up at family reunions, departmental meetings, sales calls, budget sessions, crowded parking lots, PTA meetings, checkout lines, counseling sessions, church meetings, football games, funerals and motel rooms. Conflict is evidence that human beings are engaged in something interesting.

Conflict is the spice that seasons our most intimate relationships. Two six-year-olds get into a brief and bloody fight and become lifelong friends. Two lawyers battle one another in court and decide to become partners. A man falls in love with a woman who is his opposite in every way and a family is created in the ensuing hailstorm…

The thunder bolt of conflict carries the power of both destruction and creation. Conflict is the spark of life itself. Conflict demands that we respond. Instinct gives a choice between fight or flight, but the wisdom of our soul counsels that something more is possible. Will our reaction be impulsive and self-defeating, or is it possible to discover a new route through the jungle of emotions?”
