A conflict-repair portfolio with a fact record, listening script, interests map, voluntary agreement, repair and escalation plan, and follow-up review.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • A fact-and-impact record with interpretations separated and a neutral opening question.
  • A listening script with two paraphrases, two process questions, and a corrected understanding.
  • An interests-and-boundaries map with two provisional arrangements and unresolved agreement details.
  • A voluntary team agreement with deadline, ownership, confirmation, access fallback, and a review point.
  • A repair statement and escalation map distinguishing ordinary disagreement, authority limits, and unsafe conduct.
  • A conflict-repair portfolio with two-cycle evidence, a revised handoff process, and a specific reflection.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • Fact discipline: separates observations, reported explanations, interpretations, and work impact without assigning unsupported motives.
  • Listening and boundaries: uses correctable paraphrases, identifies practical interests, and preserves privacy, availability, safety, and the option to seek support.
  • Agreement quality: chooses a time that fits both research and review constraints, specifies each role’s actions, and includes confirmation, fallback, consent, and a review point.
  • Repair and follow-up: acknowledges impact without demanding forgiveness, routes threats or authority issues appropriately, and evaluates the two sample cycles against observable terms.

The idea in everyday life

Repair is tested through what happens afterward. A review can show whether a deadline, acknowledgement, or fallback worked and whether the process needs another adjustment. It should not become a trial of someone’s personality. The final portfolio combines the event record, listening script, needs map, agreement, and repair plan into a usable team process.

The idea

Evaluate the agreed behavior and adjust the process using evidence.

Try it

One step at a time.

Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.

  1. 1

    Assemble the five previous deliverables and check that facts, needs, boundaries, and the final agreement match. Remove interpretations accidentally presented as events and confirm that unsafe-conduct routes remain separate from peer repair.

  2. 2

    Compare the two supplied cycles with each agreed behavior: handoff time, warning time, acknowledgement, and review availability. Identify what succeeded and which instruction still created confusion without adding unsupported motives.

  3. 3

    Revise one process detail, adding the approved alternate-route instructions to the shared note. State who maintains the instruction and when the team will review it again if another access problem occurs.

  4. 4

    Write a brief reflection connecting listening or boundary-setting to a concrete change in the agreement. Label the complete packet as fictional practice and state the limits of two successful cycles rather than claiming permanent resolution.

Example

See how it works.

Fictional practice: In the first follow-up, Ren uploads at 2:55 and Mo acknowledges at 3:05. In the second, an access failure is reported at 2:40 and the approved alternate handoff completes at 3:00. Both drafts reach review on time under the agreement. The team keeps the early warning rule but adds the alternate-route instructions to the shared notes because that question caused avoidable confusion. Mo’s reflection says the process improved handoffs, not that Ren’s character has been permanently proven. The final packet records two successful sample cycles and the limits of that evidence; no real conflict conversation is required.

Check your work

Did you cover these?

  • Both cycles are checked against the agreement
  • One process detail is revised
  • Conclusions stay limited to supplied evidence

What to finish

A conflict-repair portfolio with two-cycle evidence, a revised handoff process, and a specific reflection.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Treating a short run of success as proof that no future review or boundary is needed.

How can I tell I understand it?
