So, it is imperative that you learn how to apply this concept of separating positions from interests. That way, you’ll be able to use it when it really matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For most people the answer to this question is YES. How do we treat those that ‘gets us’?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;We are more tolerant of their missteps;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We want to be around them;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We seek their counsel or use them as a sounding board;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We are want to have a give and take conversation with them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The skill you need to do this is called ACTIVE LISTENING. &lt;strong&gt;Now, how can this be useful to you on the job or in your everyday life? CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO FIND OUT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SCENARIO:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Employee Jack wonders:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;‘I generally get along with everyone at work, why can’t I connect with my supervisors and managers?’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colleagues&lt;/strong&gt;: Jack is “too intense.” Rather than look at you, he devours you with his eyes. And if he takes your hand, he lunges to get it and then squeezes so hard it hurts. Jack is a caring guy but has a terrible time being in sync with people. This awkwardness limits his ability to advance at work. He just isn’t seen as being good with others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://zenworkplaces.tumblr.com/post/15661590826</link><guid>http://zenworkplaces.tumblr.com/post/15661590826</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:23:00 -0500</pubDate><category>job search</category><category>communication</category><category>employment</category><category>employee</category><category>illustration;</category><category>illustration</category><category>communication skills</category><category>non-verbal communication</category></item><item><title>Basic conflict resolution tools that employers can use to start...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxj5lnv4Gp1r9r0fto1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Basic conflict resolution tools that employers can use to start creating a culture of zen in the workplace&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://zenworkplaces.tumblr.com/post/15563469052</link><guid>http://zenworkplaces.tumblr.com/post/15563469052</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jan 2012 07:05:00 -0500</pubDate><category>illustrations;</category><category>conflict</category><category>conflict resolution</category><category>workplace</category><category>dispute</category><category>employment</category><category>employee</category><category>employer</category><category>mediate</category><category>mediation</category><category>facilitation</category><category>negotion</category><category>conflict system design</category><category>conflict management design</category><category>communication</category></item><item><title>Are you experiencing conflict at work?
