Comms strategy & coaching
World-class comms skills, for your team and for you individually.
From exec comms and PR at Google and international tech start ups, to performing with Cirque du Soleil – let us bring years of comms strategy and storytelling to your firm. Understand the core of your messages, and let them come through external, internal, investor/donor, analyst and other types of comms. Because it’s not only what you say, it’s what they hear and when they hear it. Let’s find the right strategy, new channels, and build a bench of spokespeople through our media training programs.
Mediation & Conflict transformation
Conflict better. Keep control. Find more peace.
Mediation allows people in a dispute to meet with a facilitator, and through a structured and professional process, seek to find an agreement where all sides can be made whole. This isn’t a judgment – it’s a private conversation, in space and process to safely negotiate to seek a long-term agreement. Mediation keeps the parties in control, but through a process where underlying interests can be found and creative solutions can make a better final outcome.
Workshops and training
Turn conflict into healthy dialogue, build negotiation skills, and perform better.
At its core, conflict is communication, and the tension between them can hone strategies, create progress, and ultimately create stronger and healthier teams. Our workshops help people to understand the psychological and physiological forces at play when we’re deep in conflict and negotiation, and how to use those forces to the advantage of ourselves and our teams. With experience in mediation, corporate communications, and even high level acrobatics, we teach skills around communication, negation, body awareness, and more.
Peace building
Using modern techniques to resolve conflict where it’s needed most.
With experience in tech and AI, global corporations, crisis communications, anti-money laundering, and high stakes negotiations, we’re applying modern mediation and conflict resolution techniques to help find peace where it’s needed most. We’re on a mission to help people in high conflict zones, underserved communities, and those without the power to find a path to reduced suffering and more autonomy. Follow along our journey as we find ways to use this work for the good of the world, and if you want to join us, become a fellow.
Message from the founder:
“I started this journey trying to understand conflict in my own life, thinking that I could find ways to end it or at least avoid it. I learned that conflict isn’t the problem, people being bad at conflict is.
I started drawing on all I’ve learned from my executive and crisis communications work at Google, mediation and negotiation training at Harvard Law School, international security and policy courses at Stanford, even from my time traveling the world as an acrobatic and stunt performer including with Cirque du Soleil. How can communication, relationship building, understanding physiology during intense moments, and above all, more curiosity, help for more meaningful and productive conflict?
Now, we’re applying that to complex disputes, for healthy and higher-performing teams, and ultimately in high conflict zones and humanitarian disputes across the world where it’s needed most.”
