CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

We work with Corporate Teams, Local and State Governments, Elected Officials, and Lawyers.

THE COST OF WORKPLACE CONFLICT

Workplace conflict costs Australia $10.1 billion annually. 80% of staff turnover is due to unsatisfactory relationships with work colleagues. Workplace conflict also results in lost productivity, poor employee morale, and high levels of stress and depression.

A recent report into the Culture of Local Government in Victoria highlighted the fact that poor councillor conduct brings Local Councils into disrepute and undermines the principles of good governance. This type of conflict has a detrimental effect on  Council performance and damages public trust.

Whether your dispute is a disagreement with a work colleague, a friend, or a family member, I can help you navigate the conflict and get a good outcome.

Our mission is to help you improve the quality of your conversations because better conversations lead to better decisions. We help you get smarter about how you respond rather than reacting when you are triggered. We have incorporated learnings from mediation, conflict resolution, coaching, alternative dispute resolution, negotiation, and neuroscience into our work to bring you insightful strategies on how to cultivate healthy conflict.
