The Challenge

Workplace conflicts can derail productivity and damage valuable relationships.

Research from the CIPD shows employees typically struggle with disputes for at least six months before seeking help—leading to stress, absenteeism, and declining team performance..

The Solution

Workplace mediation offers a confidential, structured process where an impartial mediator helps colleagues work through disagreements and build stronger working relationships.

Unlike formal procedures, mediation puts you in control of finding solutions that work for everyone involved

Conflict Coaching

Conflict coaching is a process where, through one-to-one support, individuals can be enabled to improve their interactions with others and explore how to manage conflicts.

This is future-focused and is not designed to delve into the past. 

I deliver the New Ways for Work® coaching model - a skills-based coaching process to gain or strengthen four key conflict resolution skills.  

It is designed to be simple and repetitive so that we can apply it in our everyday lives, particularly in the workplace - even during stressful times.

This is suitable for anyone interested in improving their interpersonal skills at work, including those who haven't had any conflict problems and for those with potentially higher conflict experiences.

The four key skills explored through the coaching and workbook are:

  1. Flexible thinking

  2. Managed emotions

  3. Moderate behaviours

  4. Checking yourself

There are three key sessions to the coaching and several optional add-on sessions. 

If you want to discuss this coaching in a short call, please email info@jakemorrison.co.uk or schedule a video call.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not provide therapy or counselling.
