From personal to social to global conflicts, we live in a world awash with them. Social injustices and prejudice, hate crimes, and territorial and economic-based disputes that result in wars and starvation existing in many regions of the world are a direct consequence of miscommunication and an unwillingness to communicate effectively. Genuinely listening, having an honest and open dialogue, becoming more aware of the problems, and mutually deciding on taking positive actions towards resolution is the only way to resolve any conflict, no matter how big. It sounds simple, but as we all know, not so easy to implement; still, it is doable as long as we acknowledge the immense cost of allowing such disputes to persist and are prepared to take action, no matter how small, to address them.

We believe that employing fundamental effective communication strategies aimed at resolving such conflicts and disputes is a positive step in the right direction. And while we rely on governments to initiate conflict resolution and reconciliation, it is our responsibility to become aware of the causes of the different conflicts in our society and be involved wherever possible by improving the quality of our communication.

We don’t mean to imply that nothing is being done to address these issues. By offering our services to people ready to listen, learn, engage, and help, we hope to be a part of the solution.
