Examples of strategies could incude: body language, tone of voice, facial expressions, language used
etc.
Example:
Value: I do not drink Alcohol.
This value is important to me because: I like to look after my body and I don’t think alcohol is very good for my
health.
A situation where this value might cause conflict with someone else is: My workmates like to go out for a drink
after work and keep asking me to come with them even though I don’t drink.
If I react badly to this conflict, the situation could change for the worse in this way: They might get upset and
think that I was judging them for drinking. They might stop being friendly to me at work because they think I don’t
want to be friends with them because I keep refusing to go out with them.
One strategy I could use to stay non-judgemental is: to explain to them that I don’t drink, but that I would like to
come if they are ok with me just drinking fruit juice!
A second strategy I could use to stay non-judgemental is: to suggest another social activity that we could all do.
