Mediation Matters

Adam is joined by a leading conflict mediator, coach and author, Dana Caspersen. Dana is the author of 'Changing the Conversation: The 17 Principles of Conflict Resolution' and shares her journey to become an expert in the field and how she applied her career experience in theatre and dance to conflict mediation. Dana expresses how conflict can be an opportunity for growth and progress when managed in a framework of self-awareness and an integrated approach. 

Adam is joined by Ruth Frank on this episode of Mediation Matters. Ruth has built her career working in the human resources industry, helping companies navigate conflict in the workplace. Ruth is a skilled negotiator, HR consultant, coach, and expert in employee relations and HR Policies. 

Adam is joined by Enda Young, Managing Director of Mediation Northern Ireland for this episode of Mediation Matters. Enda is an experienced mediator with over two decades in the sector. He tells us how he switched from mechanical engineering to a mediation career after being involved in the dialogue around the Northern Ireland conflict at a young age. After attending a one-day training on mediation, Enda asked himself how he could do this for the rest of his life. He shares the chronicles of his work in this discussion with Adam and outlines the skills needed to be a great mediator. 

Adam is joined by three wonderful women colleagues from Global Mediation to mark International Women's Day on March 8th, 2023. Martha Monday (COO), Zonelle Richardson (Area Lead), and Natalie Gersch (Deputy Area Lead) sit down with Adam to talk about their career experiences as women in the workplace, views on how women positively impact business as well as the challenges that come with work/life balance. They answer the question of whether women make better mediators and discuss the opportunities ahead of us to build a more inclusive and equal world.
