The First Step

July 30th, 2011

The car and the kids are packed and ready to go for our six-week adventure around Europe.

Our route is somewhat fluid although we have some fixed points along the way. Starting point is Santander and finish line is St Malo. In-between we have a week at the Italian Lakes and a week at Annecy. Where we go along the way will depend on what democratic agreement the family come to (my family find that hard to believe!).

The aims and objectives are:-

To have a lot of fun and very special family time.
For my children (and me!) to learn the art of travelling on a budget.
To manage whatever conflict situations arise.
To provide inspirational leadership
To practice my mediation skills in order to ensure we all peacefully co-exist.
To come back totally refreshed and raring to commence my new venture.

To see how we are getting on keep checking the blog.

Testimonial

The report was very professional, it dealt with all the issues raised and was particularly thorough. It clearly took the time to fully understand all of the issues and background. It was complex but the report really helped to break it down and I’m hoping we can progress in a positive manner following the recommendations.

Group Conflict – Conflicts between teams

It is not uncommon for conflict to arise between different teams. This can have considerable impact on both individuals and performance. A number of approaches can be used in this sort of scenario, including neutral assessment, team facilitation and group mediation.

Conflict Coaching – Shareholder/Director dispute

Agreement could not be reached to enter into mediation in this situation and therefore coaching was an alternative support provided to one of the parties. The relationship between a majority shareholder and a shareholder/director was causing conflict. The relationship would be ok at times but disagreements would flare up from time to time and this was beginning to impact on the business.
