Changing the Outcome: Paper :  
Select a current relationship with an individual or group that you would like to improve. This could be any relationship including but not limited to: customers, co-worker, supervisor, a department, an organization, friend, family member or spouse. This should be a relationship that you currently are in, one that you can make changes to and not one from the past.
Clearly state what the relationship is like now and how you would like it to be, where the conflicts tend to arise and how you used the tools learned in class and the assigned readings to change the outcome of interactions with this person or group. This paper is not expected to be formal but please use APA format if appropriate. 
You should summarize the results of the interactions and the overall change (if any) in the relationship.  You should also indicate how you intend to continue utilizing these tools in the future to improve communication, conflict resolution and negotiations for this relationship as well as with other individuals or groups.
