do we?
Saved Me Around £30,000
SF
Wealth Management Specialist
I was competent, intelligent and professional but completely debilitated by my situation, which was affecting both business and home life.
Scott brought instant clarity, as well as emotional support. With his legal insight and disarming ability to defuse a potentially very hostile situation, the outcome saved me around £30,000.
Managing, Reducing and Avoiding
Conflict at Work
Conflict at work is a fact of life. We can't avoid all of it - but probably most of it is actually avoidable.
It's a bit of a balancing act, isn't it!
We can manage and reduce conflict - and see it as a potential for creating a positive outcome.
It's not easy - let's do more of what's right.

...informal, informative and made me rethink my approach
to praise Scott and his material
“I attended Scott’s Conflict at Work session at my staff day. I found the session informal, informative and it made me rethink my approach when dealing with issues of conflict. I learned useful techniques like finishing a conversation on a positive and also the power of the word ‘BUT’.
I have already used some of the skills discussed during the session. Overall it was a very enjoyable workshop, and the speaker was very engaging.”
Mary McHugh
Occupational Health Nurse, Edinburgh College
My company hosted an annual conference and training event for our franchisee partners.
The entire group responded positively and found tangible and lasting benefit. Several delegates proactively contacted me after the event to praise both Scott and his material and spoke highly of how relevant they found the experience.
Scott was particularly easy to deal with when arranging the event and responded to last minute requests very positively. I can highly recommend Scott and we will certainly be using his services in the future.
