THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Practical, not theoretical
This 60 minute recorded course covers how to spot early warning signs, understand what is driving the tension, and choose the right response pathway. It works through the practical differences between a direct conversation, coaching, a facilitated discussion, mediation and investigation, and how to tell conflict apart from misconduct. It is designed for leaders, managers, HR professionals, workplace relations staff, supervisors and business owners. Not every issue needs the same process, and this course will help you intervene proportionately. Includes a PDF handout.

Learn from Shiv Martin

Shiv Martin
Brisbane based nationally accredited mediator, lawyer and facilitator
For more than 15 years, I have supported individuals, leaders and organisations to navigate conflict, complaints, difficult conversations and complex decision-making. My experience spans government, regulatory and ombudsman services, workplaces, education, healthcare, construction and community organisations.
My webinars and courses are practical, engaging and grounded in real-world experience. I draw on conflict resolution, mediation, negotiation, communication, psychology, trauma-informed practice and leadership to provide useful frameworks and strategies you can apply immediately.
"Shiv Martin delivered an outstanding mediation training session that was both insightful and engaging. Her deep knowledge of the mediation process, combined with her humble, kind, and approachable manner, created a supportive and positive learning environment... It is rare to find a trainer who balances professionalism with such genuine warmth."

"I have observed and worked with Shiv facilitating training and she has excellent command of the room. She has the ability to adapt her pedagogy to work in with clients and their set agenda. I highly recommend her to any organisation who would like to improve their practice on conflict resolution."
