Eight myths about mediation

Hints for receiving and giving critical feedback

All the essential Dos and Don'ts of hard-to-have conversations:

Part one: Introduction to hard-to-have conversations

Part Two: Ten powerful ways to get your message across in hard-to-have conversations

Whether a brooding or a fully expressed intractable dispute, a stalled project or negotiation, or a problematic relationship, difficult situations call for particular types of assistance.

I specialise in helping people with difficult conversations. Over 17 years I have handled more than 2,000 mediations throughout New Zealand, covering all kinds of conflicts and disputes.

Specifically I offer:

mediation/facilitation services;
independent workplace relations audits;
training in communication/conflict skills;
and one-on-one work coaching.

Problems left to fester never resolve themselves. If you need specialist help to move forward in any of these areas, give me (and guide dog Digby) a call.
