“The problem is never the problem itself, but how we respond to it—turning it into a solution.”
When someone is rude to you, respond with kindness. When someone approaches you with illogical or unreasonable arguments, raise the level of the conversation. But how do you do that?
First, recognize the miscommunication by assessing its vibrational frequency. Then, calmly inform the person that this is not the best way to communicate with you. If the behavior continues after the notification, distance yourself from the person and/or remove yourself from the environment. If this pattern of behavior persists, the best course of action is to cut ties or limit that person’s presence in your network—or, if it’s a professional context, restrict their involvement accordingly.
This is one of the key protocols in Conflict and Crisis Management within Networking.
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
