How did I become The Conflict Strategist? I was in the middle of conflict every day. I felt stuck. I was bombarded with:
-
A never-ending flow of demands from internal clients.
-
Complaints from user groups about shared spaces.
-
Missed deadlines by vendors, without any notice.
-
Emails that sounded like people were upset with me.
What was I doing? I was leading real estate, design, & construction in all types of industries: financial services, education, publishing, entertainment, communications, & government. There was something they ALL had in common: CONFLICT.
Why did I become The Conflict Strategist? There were a lot of attempts, fails, mishaps, AND finally, the WINS. I cracked the code for managing conflicts, and I want to share it with you.
If you struggle with:
-
Feeling anxious about difficult conversations.
-
Avoiding conflicts with your colleagues.
-
Being managed by a micromanager.
-
Hesitating to negotiate about work, deadlines, and more.
Then count on me to help you transform your response and reframe how you communicate.

What results can you expect:
Increased Productivity: Research shows that up to 50% of our time is spent managing conflict. Trade those hours of managing conflict to refocus on core responsibilities.
Happier Workplaces: Unmanaged conflict results in toxic workplaces, and people leave. If conflict is swiped away, it gets worse. When conflict is managed, relationships grow, people are happier at work, and want to stay.
Why me? My clients don't come back...except to give me updates, and share referrals. I have helped thousands transform conflict into opportunity. It's your turn.
