Description
Summary:As conflict is inevitable in the property management industry, communication and conflict resolution are essential skills for students to possess in order to have a successful career trajectory. However, existing research shows that students struggle with these soft skills thereby creating a gap between expected soft skills and observed soft skills of recent graduates. The purpose of this paper is to share details of a self‑compassion intervention that is used in a property management operations course and provide student insights into the exercise to illuminate self‑compassion as a concept that can be used to aid in communication and conflict resolution within the property management industry.
