World Voices in a Polarized World: Application of "Voice Dialogue" Principles to Polarized Teams, Organizations, and World Affairs

What do you do when a loved one does not hear you? How do you become a team with people who do not share your values? How do you handle a power game, when you do not want to play that game? What do you do to change the dynamics of a relationship with someone whose interest is vested on conflict rather than collaboration?

Today we are living in a world where polarization is more complex than ever. It is not only in the political sphere but also on the social, environmental, organizational and even on family level where we face conflict and polarization. In this volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, our disagreements in the workplace, within the family, among citizens or loved ones easily become polarized. Therefore, our past know-how on dealing with conflict is obsolete. We need to start approaching conflict and polarization with a new perspective.

The Voice Dialogue technique, which has been used in personal development and couple's therapy since 1980s, has the potential to offer this fresh perspective to the area of conflict resolution of complex systems. Ozlem Sarioglu guides us through the steps of applying this powerful technique to overcome polarization in teams, organizations, and world affairs.

Ozlem Sarioglu's book provides guidance on the following:

• Role of vulnerability at the face of inner and outer conflict
• Rethinking your anger and judgements to redesign your responses
• How to cut the fuel of polarization and change the dynamic of your relationships
• Tools and techniques applicable to team coaching and conflict resolution based on Voice Dialogue methodology.
