I led research and learning design on a small, dedicated team working closely with William Ury (co-founder of Harvard’s Program on Negotiation and co-author of Getting to YES) to distill his 45+ years of experience in conflict resolution. Our team contributed to the development of BB3 (Balcony, Bridge, and Third Side), a methodology that transforms seemingly impossible conflicts into opportunities for creative, constructive negotiation by equipping practitioners with tools to shift perspectives, build connections, and engage broader communities.Through in-person and virtual workshops, what we developed reached to over 400+ conflict practitioners working on 83 teams from 100+ organizations addressing 37 conflicts around the world. Nearly 60 nationalities were represented in these sessions, where participants learned to apply BB3’s negotiation mindset and tools to real-world conflicts.Impact by the Numbers:• 400+ conflict practitioners• 83 teams from 100+ different organizations• 37 conflicts on nearly every continent including Afghanistan, Middle East, Colombia, Venezuela, US, Kashmir, Brazil, Cameroon, Nigeria, Boko Haram, Rwanda, Yemen, Syria, Mali, Sudan, Congo, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Burundi, Somalia, and Climate NegotiationsKey Contributions:• Led the design and facilitation of BB3 workshops, transforming advanced negotiation strategies into a scalable framework for peacebuilders.• Applied product research techniques to develop a comprehensive training program for global practitioners.• Supported peacebuilding efforts by helping teams navigate complex conflicts and identify key decision-makers.

Compound Coaching provided a unique 2-on-1 coaching approach that propelled clients forward by bringing clarity to bold ideas and big decisions. As founder, Ian assembled a global coaching team of creative entrepreneurs with decades of experience, ranging from owning coffee shops and festivals to publishing and live event production. He created the business model, designed the brand and led customer development.Client Testimonials:"In 45 minutes, I walked away having identified a major leadership roadblock I've been trying to uncover for over a year—but more importantly, I felt deeply supported in examining that roadblock and establishing a positive next step. Cannot recommend them highly enough."— Juliana"My coaches were brilliant! The 45 mins was structured without being too structured. They really listened and I felt we all bounced the conversations off each other to ultimately get to a point where there was a perspective shift for me. They both gave practical advice that they had used in the past and I felt they really believed in me."— Briony"Putting trust in two strangers sitting across the world was liberating. My coaches were really good at unpacking the topics and complimented each other with different approaches and final summations. Overall I was really impressed with the service and am interested in booking a follow-up session."— NigelAs the coronavirus pandemic strained small businesses, the Compound Coaching team needed to focus on protecting their primary sources of income. This drove the decision to close Compound Coaching at the end of 2020.
