TIP #1
Plan in advance – open up discussions early on how and where things will happen and who will do what so that everyone has time to give their input and tasks can be shared fairly.
TIP #2
Don’t allow issues to simmer away until they become explosive. Discuss any problems calmly, rather than storing up anger until it turns into a heated argument.
TIP #3
Listen to others and show you understand their viewpoints, even if you don’t agree with them.
TIP #4
Try to break conversational patterns that always lead to the same old argument rearing its ugly head. Take some evasive action and change the subject as smoothly as you can.
TIP #5
Do your best to limit excessive drinking, which leads to over-reactions and drunken outbursts – make sure everyone has a fresh glass of water by their side and wait until people have finished their alcoholic drinks before asking if they would like another.
