In this episode I talk about what we can do in lose-lose scenarios - you know, the situations where all our options might seem to sort of suck (or really suck). So, I'll look at how we, ourselves, define value, how accepting the facts of our situation can help us expand our options, and that lose-lose scenarios don't exist within a bubble and sometimes we can use them to grow value elsewhere in our lives.

The Opportune Conflict is a project of mine where I try to take a nugget of theory from conflict resolution or decision-making and make it easier to understand and more applicable to our daily lives. And, hopefully this episode was helpful! (Also, if you hear a printer clicking in the background, it means you've almost made it all the way through the episode!)

In this episode I mention that if you do need extra help, seeking it out is an action you can take. If you need professional help for particularly sucky lose-lose scenarios (whether that is legal, therapy, mediation, etc.), knowing when you do need help is a strength (not a weakness). So if you need help, exercise your option to ask for it.
