Welcome to the podcast "Cut the Conflict in Council." If you work in Local Government this podcast will give you the insights and tools on how to navigate conflict effectively and handle those difficult conversations  without losing your cool. Ongoing conflict creates stress and an unhealthy workplace. I am currently the Mayor at my local Council,  an award-winning lawyer, mediator and conflict management specialist. I train, coach and mentor people on how to manage conflict effectively.  Each week on the podcast I will be delving into different topics related to conflict management and giving  you lots of information on how to prevent  conflict escalating so make sure you tune in.
