Mosaic Mediation - Mediation, Coaching & Training

☺️I'm so looking forward to going to another Speakers' Community event with Breakthrough Public Speaking this evening.

Sarina Mann has a beautiful way of facilitating these events so they feel comfortable, exciting and confidence-boosting. (Plus great food!)

Today, I also get to 🙌encourage more 🪎gold-digging in conflict and speaking alongside Jessica Shailes, Thomas Laird and Julie Eddicott.

👉Before that... Training delivery planning and a mediation!

✨What are you upto today?

To mention a few consequences...

Not all conflict is bad or unhelpful, but when conflict is not handled effectively (or totally avoided), there can be significant consequences for an organisation, including:
🔸Increased absences and staff turnover
🔸Miscommunication and disharmony between teams
🔸Interrupted or lower productivity
🔸More grievances and disciplinaries
🔸Broken trust - with individuals, towards managers, or with the organisation

There are several options to support an organisation's unique situation flexibly.

Yes, mediation is one ☑️

There is also coaching ☑️, training ☑️, specialist guidance☑️, neutral evaluation ☑️, and meeting facilitation ☑️

Delay is often caused by not knowing what the next step should be for the best. One step that you can take to manage a difficult conversation effectively is to reach out to a specialist for a no-obligation conversation.

Are you a 🪎gold-digger like me?!

I hope so 🙌.

Otherwise, you might miss it... The bit that's camouflaged🔎 in the mess of interactions.

Less than 2 weeks ago, I had the pleasure of encouraging the 🔴TEDxGosport audience to become gold-diggers too!

👉And, now, you get to see what an earth I'm talking about. The 15-minute video is now live on YouTube ✨✨✨.

I would love for you to watch and share the gold😎

What if conflict isn't the opposite of connection? In this TEDxGosp...

Isn't it great to be proved wrong sometimes?

Not in the competitive games sense - definitely aim to win But, in the sense of predicting the worst.

👉"It's going to go terribly"
👉"They won't listen"
👉"They don't care"

All these negative biases that rise up to protect ourselves are often proved wrong.

🙌 The interaction is better than expected
🙌 They seemed to finally get where you were coming from
🙌 They really didn't mean to cause offense

(Not always of course... Sometimes, our gut instinct is on the money!)

But, if we avoid something based on a fear, assumption or discomfort, we definitely won't have the opportunity to be pleasantly surprised.

I mediate on average 4-5 times per week (mixture of SEND and workplace disputes) and can tell you that the vast majority are very pleasantly surprised by how it goes and how the other person interacts too .

After the amazing TEDXGosport event at the weekend, was straight back to tackling the conflict talk about... Mediations, pre-mediation calls and conflict coaching each day.

Even though I missed the Portsmouth ONLE Networking due to mediating, Michael Jenkings went in my place to experience how awesome the people are! (Thank you Rachel Harwood and everyone else for giving him such a warm welcome!)

Poor scheduling of mediation calls means I am unlikely to join the Yellow Tuxedo ® gang for our meetup this morning, so am already feeling the FOMO with that.

What have you been upto this week? And, what do you put off due to negative predictions...?

Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have loved 🙌 each Breakthrough Public Speaking events...and not just for the amazing food either!

👉You get to meet great people, hear wonderful prepared talks, and it's a great opportunity to practice speaking skills for yourself too.

Sarina Mann facilitates the sessions with such grace, encouragement and fun.

This month, with the theme of 📜'Storytelling', I get to share a few stories about conflict. Plus, we will hear stories from the amazing Jessica Shailes, Thomas Laird and Julie Eddicott too.

Get in touch if you would like to attend 🤩

Mediation is a speedy form of dispute resolution, which aims to prevent the need for using more formal, costly methods of resolving an issues - such as bringing a case to a court or tribunal.

A workplace mediation process typically involves:

✨An explanation of the mediation process
✨Calls (before and after the mediation) to each individual
✨A facilitated conversation by the mediator between the individuals
✨Any relevant additional service requested, such as DISC, training or coaching
✨Confidentiality and impartiality throughout
✨Communication with the organisation before, during and after the mediation

📨Email: [email protected] to discuss your enquiry.

Mosaic Mediation provide a range of conflict resolution tools and services to flexibly address every unique situation, including mediation, coaching, neutral evaluations, DISC profiling, training, and advisory services.

September✨ is often a time of new beginnings and building new relationships.

🤩It's that 'new notebook'📓 feeling!

I will often say to my children that new groups of people are just those you don't know... YET.

🤷Who knew that the personal accomplishment of getting through the audition process meant my fellow speakers would become my amazing support system!

👉This week, a few of us managed to get together for another practise before Saturday 😵‍💫- and it meant so much to have that encouragement. (🤩And it was amazing to hear their talks fully too!)

The start to September is not all 🔴TedX... This week has also included mediations, 📨lots of emails, pre-mediation calls, a lovely social/business catch up with Ainslie Chivers over cake 🍰 and a great call with People-Keeper, Maritsa Inglessis.

What have you been upto this week?

✨What do you want to focus on?

There are three main coaching options available with Mosaic Mediation:

1. Individuals may wish to become more confident and assertive communicators through Assertiveness Coaching.

2. Our Peaceful Leadership Coaching equips people managers or senior leaders with leadership skills, delivering feedback, and managing conflict.

3. Conflict coaching can be used to help an individual to proactively process a difficult personal or professional interaction or conflict situation. (Conflict coaching can also be a great addition to mediation - particularly when one or both parties experience anxiety or have mental health concerns.)

Mosaic Mediation works directly with individuals or to facilitate coaching within an organisation.

Email: [email protected] or book a call through the Mosaic Mediation website to discuss your goals and areas of focus.

The calm before the performance 🔴.

Last week, away with my family, I was able to sit with this view and very calmly memorise...but, 😵‍💫 now it's only a few days away until I have to do the real thing for at the TEDxGosport event.

It probably won't surprise you that I will be speaking about conflict 😎.

Every day, I'm involved with conflict - whether it's pre-mediation calls, discussing approaches for potential mediation, coaching leaders to manage conflict more effectively, or training new mediators.

So, it's my life 🤷.

👉But, I am also keenly aware that it's a topic we *ALL* relate to (even if it's not your profession) - everyone has experienced conflict.

My hope is that after I stand on that red dot 🔴 listeners will walk away feeling better equipped and more hopeful about what can come from handling conflict in a different way.
