Emily de Schweinitz Taylor on Learning to Be Flexible & Strategic Conflict. #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: We constantly communicate what is important to us. Christ said to be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Know and use your communication power for good. #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: quoting Darius Gray- “God is the author of diversity.” Be vulnerable and patient. #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: Tou exercise your compassion in what you bring up and when you bring it up. #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: Accommodating is not equal to peacemaking. There are things you need and want and you act like they don’t matter- you will not be happy with yourself afterward. Accommodating is not always the best answer and can lead to a lack of connection. #mwegconf2019

Emily de Schweinitz Taylor: handout on being flexible and strategic in conflict. #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: quoting DF Uchtdorf “We would do well to slow down a little, proceed at the optimum speed for our circumstances, focus on the significant, lift our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most”. #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: Agree to agree... make that your goal. #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: read “Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High” by Al Switzler, Joseph Grenny, and Ron McMillan. Great resource! #mwegconf2019

E dSTaylor: The fire in your soul is there to start things. (Not to burn things down.) Be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove. Use your God-given faculties for good. Prepare yourself and then you have access to divine help. #mwegconf2019
