Identify the three conversations as described in Stone et al., and clearly describe the perspective of each party (see the rubric for how this will be graded).

Everyone has experienced difficult conversations in which we became mired in assuming, arguing, blaming, etc. After completing this week’s reading from Stone, Patton, and Heen and after viewing Dr. Fleming’s video, think back to a recent difficult conversation in which you were personally involved and write a reflection paper that address the following prompts:

Introduction
Give a brief overview of the situation in which the conversation occurred.
Identify the three conversations as described in Stone et al., and clearly describe the perspective of each party (see the rubric for how this will be graded). NOTE: When you provide the other party’s perspective on each of the conversations, it should not be your opinion of what they said and felt or how you think they should have acted or how they should have felt, etc. You should write it clearly from the perspective of the other party. It should be as though they are the ones telling what happened and discussing their own emotions and identity issues. You will likely have to make an educated guess for how the other person viewed the conversation, but that’s okay.
Discuss how you (not the other party) exhibited the following:
The truth assumption
The intention invention
The blame frame
Be sure to cite Stone et al. appropriately.

Taking what you have learned in this course to this point, how might you have approached this conversation differently and achieved a more satisfactory resolution? You should utilize as many of the sources as possible that we have studied so far to support your new approach to this conversation.
Conclusion
Due Monday at 11:59pm.
