Struggling with difficult conversations or team dynamics? Don’t worry – we’ve all been there. If you’ve ever tried to get a group of adults to agree on anything more complicated than where to go for lunch, you know the struggle.Hi, I’m Graeme, a negotiation and conflict advisor, mediator and facilitator, specialising in helping teams and leaders navigate the tricky territory of communication and collaboration. Right now, you might be dealing with challenges like: 🤯 Communication breakdowns that are stalling progress 😣 A team that struggles to pull in the same direction 🤷‍♂️ Avoiding those difficult conversations that could lead to real change As Co-Founder of Thrivelihood, I work alongside my long-time colleague and friend Debbie to help organisations like yours transform the way their people engage and work together. We’re all about turning those difficult conversations you’re avoiding into golden opportunities for progress. It’s not just about fixing problems — it’s about preventing them in the first place.We know that the real issues often lie beneath the surface, so we dig deeper to find them. We diagnose the challenges you might not even know you have and involve you in the solution design process to ensure lasting change.With a background in dispute resolution (18 years at an international firm), I've seen my fair share of conflict and how people's emotions and behaviours get in the way of them acting in their real interests, or even identifying the real issues. And it doesn't matter whether we know legal processes (I know this first-hand), nobody is immune to the pitfalls that side-track us from long term goals and swifter resolutions. I've helped teams focus on how to disagree well and use that necessary friction to turn conflict into opportunities. I’ve worked with teams large and small, from global legal firms to IT departments, helping them:💪 Improve team collaboration and communication 🎯 Facilitate leadership workshops that drive real change 🤝 Create sustainable solutions that prevent problems before they start I'm driven to create work environments that are not only more enjoyable and productive but also aligned with the goals of both individuals and organisations. I help navigate challenges and develop sustainable solutions that stand the test of time (and office politics).Want to make your team work better together and pull in the same direction?
