Reframe a Conflict With a Colleague as a Collaboration Problem
There's a colleague you've decided you just don't get on with, and every interaction confirms it. This shifts the frame off the personalities and onto the shared goal you both actually want, separating the person from the behaviour that's grating. You walk into the next conversation looking for a fix rather than a fight.
