You need your high-risk confrontations and situations handled without the chaos and anxiety.

 
 

Conflict response and prevention strategies are your new secret weapon. Margisons builds a bespoke strategy to manage the conflict, untangle the emotions, and engineer the solution.

From the very outset of a conflict, every action and omission has the capacity to shift the outcome. That’s why having a strategy to respond to existing conflicts or prevent potential conflicts is essential to reaching the desired result (and avoiding escalation). We believe that proper management of the conflict means laying a foundation of core pillars that give you the advantage to respond accordingly if discussions break down.

 

Conflict Response

When conflict becomes urgent and interferes with your ability to function normally, building a response strategy is critical to finding a solution. You need intensive assistance to filter through the nonsense, focus on the wants and needs of those involved, and develop a strategy to encompass the best possible outcome along with other potentialities. Our response services and support options do just that, helping you let go of the emotions attached to the conflict so you can be direct and powerful, knowing you have contingencies.

What does productive conflict look like?

  • Dr. A.L

    "I started the 1-hour session feeling that my work situation was futile, and by the end, I had a clear framework for a way forward, along with renewed hope and enthusiasm. It's amazing how much was accomplished in a short period of time.”

  • N.R., Marketing Coordinator

    "Susannah was really great to speak with about getting advice for when seeing what my options were when considering a new job offer. I gained more confidence to ask for what I wanted and ultimately believe it got my the job offer I desired in the end. Very professional and easy to chat with. Would highly recommend to others that need advice for switching jobs/careers and are unsure of what to do with a job offer."
