Training Overview

Shiv Martin will cover a range of fundamental conflict resolution skills and process, drawn from best practice negotiation and mediation approaches during this workshop.

 

The course will: 

​

  • draw from neuroscience and psychology in the context of how conflict arises, escalates and resolves specifically within workplace relationships

  • identify clear processes for managing workplace complaints

  • discuss the key communication skills necessary to move from conflict to constructive conversations and how to create a positive team culture, and

  • focus on interest-based negotiation strategies, and mediation approaches that encourage autonomy and ownership of conflict and outcomes.

 

Prior to the training Shiv Martin will work with your team to customise the content and focus of the training so that the skills and strategies taught can be easily applied to the day-to-day work of your team.

PD Manager, Conciliator

Accident Compensation and Conciliation Service (Victoria)

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.

  • What factors determine the booking of mediation services and how do you ensure the best chance of resolution in diverse dispute contexts?
    My mediation services can be booked according to the size of the dispute at hand.

    After over a decade as a full-time panel mediator, conciliator, decision maker and team manager for various government agencies, Commissions and Tribunals, I am now offering my mediation and conciliation services privately. I am highly experienced in managing a diverse range of disputes and adapt a flexible mediation approach following considered pre-mediation discussions with parties and their legal representatives.
  • What qualifications and experience do you bring to the table as a mediator and mediation accreditation training assessor?
    As an experienced Mediator and Recognized Mediation Accreditation training and assessor I bring to the table a high level of emotional intelligence, the technical skills of a lawyer (Over 10 years PAE) and a depth of cross-cultural and intergenerational conflict experience.
