This is the first in our series highlighting our various learning tools with a view to their use by end users (learners) and by those teaching and training others.
In the spotlight is a helpcard (a 2 sided 8.5 x 11 inch card with highly condensed tightly written material) designed to impart the elements of fair fighting to learners. While fighting fair techniques are usually thought of as applying primarily to couples and spouses, they are also important for all families members, and also can be applied on the job, since the same issues regarding disagreements occur at home and at work.
The idea behind fighting fair is that damage to relationships comes, not from what people fight about, but how people fight. Fight dirty or in a mean fashion and the relationship can be damaged permanently. Fight fair and the argument is only a passing storm because nobody gets hurt.
Unfortunately, we do not grow up knowing how to fight fair instinctively. If anything we tend to be inclined towards striking out in anger unless we make a special effort to learn to fight and argue constructively.
That where Learn To Fight Fair Helpcard comes in. It outlines and explains both basic and advanced techniques of fighting fair. While we can’t claim people can become experts in 30 minutes, it is possible to read and get a feel for the techniques so the learner can start practicing right away. That’s the advantage of the helpcard concept. It’s fast, but it’s also complete.
And For Trainers, Counselors, Employee Assistance Program Admin, Teachers…
If you teach others to fight fair whether in the context of a course, or a counselling or coaching process, you will find this helpcard invaluable, due to it’s completeness, brevity, depth of coverage, and price. Use it as a handout or takeaway. Use it as basic content for your session.
The price is at a point where everyone can afford to buy their own copy. It’s under $10.00 U.S. But here’s the kicker for those helping others learn. If you buy in multiple copies, large discounts are in place, particularly if you licence the downloadable version. So, you may pay as little as $5.00 per copy if you order 20 or more copies at one time (actual discount automatically calculated at purchase time).
Need a copy fast? No problem. Buy the downloadable copy, print it and you have it within minutes.
There’s also a free preview available if you want to get a better feel for the content, although some parts are blocked out.
