  • Positives of Post-Pandemic Conflicts in the Workplace With Dr. LaVena Wilkin

    Dr. Barbara Manousso's (http://manousso.us ) guest Dr. LaVena Wilkins (https://peacefromconflict.com/)  presents a fresh and insightful view on solving conflicts in the workplace in the post pandemic world, joining the discussion with Mac Pierre-Louis & Natalia Olowska-Czajka of https://olowskapierre.com.


    Dr. LaVena Wilkin shows how conflicts in general give an opportunity to change through open, honest and courageous communication. First condition though - you must engage in the conflict and not avoid it.

    There are some rules to solving the conflicts via this sort of communication:
    1. being respectful
    2. listening to other people's perspectives
    and thus build trust and a safe workplace.

    In the post pandemic world what helps a lot is mindfulness - being hyperaware of our emotional reactions and understanding that we would not have a conflict if we were not emotionally engaged in this particular issue ourselves.

  • Benefits of An Organizational Ombuds With Neil Katz

    Dr. Barbara Manousso (https://manousso.us ) and her guest Dr. Neil Katz (https://neilkatzconsulting.com ) with Mac Pierre-Louis & Natalia Olowska-Czajka of https://olowskapierre.com speak about the ombuds and their role in conflict solving.


    Dr. Neil Katz gives a definition of what an organizational ombuds is by giving the main features of such a post:  an informal, independent, neutral person acting in confidentiality to resolve disputes and address concerns of the employees or group of employees.
    What an ombuds can do is not just address a particular issue but also listen to the worries of an employee, resulting from e.g. burnout or lack of satisfaction at work trying to remedy it.
    The range of actions of an ombuds in the organizational space is huge and the sky seems to be the limit for it - starting from informal visits to learn about the problem, through facilitating meetings (also in the form of caucus), up to group interventions.

    Dr. Neil Katz presents some practical examples and how such an institution    
    can be more effective than trying to seek a solution via the HR departments.

  • #MeToo Movement 5 Years Later. Did It Fail?

    Although the phrase “MeToo” was created in 2006 by activist Tarana Burke, it didn’t become apart of America’s vocabulary until 2017 when actress Alyssa Milano encouraged those who have experienced sexual harassment or assault at work to post their stories on social media using #MeToo.


    So now post 5 years since we have this term in use, it brought certain consequences into a lot of people's lives.  

    Brett Lovett of https://familyreconcile.com in conversation with Mac and Natalia of https://OlowskaPierre.com discuss the pros and cons and how to prevent sexual harassment at the work place.

  • Drafting the Arbitration Clause to Help Resolve Conflicts

    Federico Vasoli of https://dmtvglobal.com speaks with Natalia and Mac of https://OlowskaPierre.com about the fundamentals of the Arbitration Clause and what to take into account when drafting it in addition to what role it plays in dispute resolutions.  

    Arbitration, being one of the methods of ADR {alternative dispute resolution}, is a way to resolve your legal disputes outside of court.   

    Because of its multiple benefits, the Arbitration Clause is absolutely advisable to have present in the contract; hence the paramount reason why it's so important to conscientiously plan ahead and draft it together with the contract.  

    An Arbitration Clause can indicate a particular existing court or be a Clause for an ad hoc court - invented and arranged for by the parties.   

    The business relationships as it brings flexibility to the possible conflict resolution, enabling for instance to have a multi-step clause, e.g. addressing a specific court for specific types of claims.
