Most people find the terms 'negotiation' and 'conflict' rather vague. Hence, negotiation skills and interpersonal conflict skills are as vague. In this clip, Asaf Shani offers his angle on what negotiation and interposal conflicts skills are and offers a further discussion about conflict resolution activities and conflict resolution training.
Asaf offers a holistic approach that defines negotiation and interpersonal skills in the widest scope possible -- from our paradigms, concepts through habits, skills and methodologies. 
Such a holistic approach makes negotiation or conflict resolution training a longer and deeper voyage than an approach that sees it in the skill plane only.  

Negotiation and conflicts are all about closing the gap between our own point of view and the other side's point of view. As you can easily imagine a person that holds a scarcity approach -- seeing the negotiated of conflicted asset in shortage -- will behaves during an interpersonal conflict or negotiation in a totally different way than a person that holds an abundance approach. A communicative individual will create a much different impression than a less communicative person.

That's what Asaf Shani implies in this clip that negotiation and interpersonal conflicts are situations that open a window into our true essence -- from the internal level of beliefs to the external level of skills -- and holds a great potential for a positive change. 
Hence, conflict resolution, conflict management and negotiation training along with conflict activities should touch the internal and external plans in order to create a meaningful -- long lasting positive change.
