The hidden costs of conflict

In a global, technological advancing

create barriers to successful commercial

problems become conflict and when
people are in conflict, it is really hard to
make good decisions.

Mediation Beyond Covid: Hacks, Craics and Crocodile Tears

In 2020, a small group of mediators gathered on Zoom to share stories as they struggled to adapt, adjust and survive whilst supporting people through conflict. Over a glass of gin, laughter and sometimes tears, we learnt a lot, and I wanted to find a way to share our insights with others.

This collection brings together professionals across disciplines who are experts in dealing with conflict, confusion and change. From mediators, lawyers, HR, marketing and executives – they are sharing their insights to help you better manage the complexities of negotiation, conflict and problem-solving.

We hope these real-life stories of gritty leadership and hard conversations, spiced with touch of humour, will make it easier to talk about conflict. We want to help you navigate this space with clarity, confidence and some fun. So, pour yourself a gin and be prepared to discover that hard conversations don’t have to result in a fight. With a little preparation, some key skills and a growth mindset, peace is possible.
