Experience

Since 1985 I have worked with community and church groups as well as corporate and government organisations, facilitating meetings and mediating disputes of many kinds. Through this work, I have developed special expertise in consensus building processes.

I am fully accredited as a mediator by LEADR (the association of Alternative Dispute Resolution professionals) and under the National Mediation Accreditation scheme. I have studied negotiation, mediation and consensus-building at the world-leading Harvard Program on Negotiation. A full list of courses I have attended appears below.

For the last 7 years I have worked as a corporate trainer and consultant specialising in these areas, and before that I spent 6 years as a solicitor and legal academic. I regularly teach basic and advanced level courses in negotiation and mediation at Monash Law School, and design and deliver training workshops on all aspects of conflict management and communication as a senior consultant at CMA.
