The workplace mediation experts
For many, conflict within the workplace is seen to damage interpersonal relationships, organisational dynamics, is harmful, destructive, costly and stressful. However, having spent the past 30 years as a leader, a mediator, a trainer, a coach and a culture change consultant, my strong belief that often ‘conflict’ in our workplaces is not the issue but rather the manner in which it is managed. Often treated as a taboo, this leads to mismanagement, avoidance and a lack of understanding. Having personally been involved in mediating a vast array of quarrels, disputes and complaints, I’ve seen first-hand the transformative effect that reframing conflict can have on people, teams and organisations.
In an increasingly tumultuous and uncertain world, some degree of conflict in the workplace is inevitable. Mediation, I believe provides an opportunity for resolution and healthy dialogue. We understand that workplace conflict can create stress, challenges and uncertainty, but you’ve come to the right place, we’re here to support you each step of the way.
