How We Help Business
Leaders
If you're leading a team through change or challenge, you're not alone. We support business leaders to resolve interpersonal tension, retain talent, and restore productivity. Whether it's coaching before a difficult conversation, facilitating a conflict between colleagues, or running tailored team sessions — we focus on creating forward-looking, values-aligned outcomes that work for everyone involved.
How We Help Government & Regulators
Public-facing organisations need to get it right — for their people and the communities they serve. We bring deep experience in the public sector, offering early resolution strategies, stakeholder engagement, and tailored training that aligns with legislative obligations and public value. Whether you're running an Ombudsman office, handling sensitive complaints, or improving systemic processes, we’ll work with you to build capability and trust — one conversation at a time.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Shiv's depth of knowledge across a range of areas, her collaborative style as a trainer and engaging manner was well received and ensured that our needs were met in the training and facilitation sessions, in terms of both content and process. In particular, Shiv's discussions around power and vulnerability in conflict resolution encouraged greater discussion and reflection amongst our Conciliation team. I look forward to further PD opportunities with Shiv as they present themselves.
