The Conflict Resolution Wheel

Essential Communications - Tom Henschel
About this episode

A co-founder, at odds with his partner (also his best friend!), reaches out to his coach for help saving the business and the friendship. 

The episode introduces The Conflict Resolution Wheel. Download it for free from our Essential Tools bin along with other communication tools like the Feeling Words Grid.

The Wheel is based on a tool in the Couple Communication course, a program to help you understand and connect with your partner better.


The course’s workbook, Talking and Listening Together, is meant for self-study. It’s available for purchase online. 


Another book Tom references in this episode is the classic Crucial Conversations.
