29 This 1-hour Morning Stretch session puts participants in a tight spot where they have to safe-guard their territory and ensure they are able to maximize the resources in their area. The activity Chair Conflict brings our natural, insecure and habituated behaviors to the fore, which, during the debrief, participants realize is destructive and non-cooperative. Yet, we are chained to our centuries-old reactions. What do we have to do to see possibilities in conflict as well as expand our mentality to know we are abundantly endowed with what it takes to live together with gratitude.

30 We have the capacity to influence each other in our choices and decisions. Are we guided by our conscience in doing so, or do lower-instinct motivations drive our behaviors? In this session, 2-4 teams (depending on audience size) are provided the same briefing but different areas in which to execute their task. Teams are allowed to plan their strategy for 7-minutes; and execute in 5- minutes. Invariably, people go with their impulsive choices and get the task done within 2-minutes, mostly driven by the need to compete. Some voices may offer better alternatives, yet these are quietened by stronger, more powerful opinions. With plenty of time and resources at hand, people tend to make decisions by the rule What s In It For Me? This simulation allows participants to learn they always have a third, better option as long as we follow the Win/Win Principle in resolving conflicts for greater inclusion.
