Owen is a conflict-resolution specialist for ambitious organisations and faith communities committed to building internal cultures of purpose, belonging and growth. He is on a mission to mediate conflict, embed key skills and design the systems and policies you need to nip future disputes in the bud. In particular, Owen is focused on equipping organisations and communities to navigate the post-pandemic landscape of hybrid working, limited opportunities for trust building, and fatigue – all of which increase the likelihood of destructive conflict. Why Does This Work Matter?Because how we are together shapes what we do together.*Proactive, informal conflict resolution enables people to get to the heart of a difficult issue and together explore the best way forward. It stokes mutual accountability, renewed commitment and improves health and wellbeing outcomes, all of which will positively impact your organisation and its goals.The world of work can be richer than we’ve been told, and people are hungry to go deeper.
