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
accredited as a mediator under the
National Mediation Accreditation scheme by the
Resolution Institute. 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 10 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 in conjunction with CMA Learning Group.
