What Others Say About Us
"Conflict Coaching - Alan and Brendan gave an engaging and inspiring session which gave practical skills that can be applied in all facets of life. The ability to look within yourself to understand your reaction to conflict is a skill we could all learn. The group came away from the session with the skills to handle the many forms of conflict they are confronted with daily."

"Alan Halford and Brendan McKeague are exceptional facilitators of the Conflict Coaching Workshop they offer. They bring a lot of wisdom, practical experience and authenticity to their work. I really got a lot from attending the Conflict Coaching workshop recently from the gentle pacing, experiential processes and vibrant co-learning environment that they created. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to take a compassionate, creative and collaborative approach to resolving conflict in their personal or professional lives."

"My experience in this course has underlined a fundamental truth for work as a leader/Manager, that is the need to "know yourself". This is a daily lesson which is the most effective way to move towards effective management and to build honest and rewarding relationships with staff.
The five-step communication tool provides an honest approach to the process of personal peacemaking with difficult clients. My work often involves meeting with clients in highly charged and emotive situations where aggressive and sometimes violent behaviour is prevalent. The five-step peacemaking process provides a real point of contact with my clients that acknowledges but does not patronise, listens but does not cower to, responds but does not defend and ultimately provides a real opportunity to find a "bigger truth".

"I have benefitted from the use of Brendan's skill as a conflict coach in my professional and personal life. He has introduced me to ways of thinking about preferred outcomes in challenging situations that have helped me to achieve surprising results. I have learned how to work more constructively with people who have very different views than myself."
