Venita DIMOS is a mediator and a Conflict Coach. To manage conflict is not something most people have ever received education and training for. Most people have learned to deal with conflict ‘on the job’, through trial and error, through stress and damaged relationships.

As a result, many people choose to avoid or fear conflict. Avoiding conflict resolves nothing.

Being able to effectively resolve disputes is an invaluable life skill that can help you restore relationships, whether in your workplace or your personal life.

By working with a trained Conflict Coach or attending a Conflict Workshop, you can privately explore your own personal conflict patterns and better understand the dynamics of conflict with the important people in your life.

Hear important messages about conflict management and resolution from this insightful interview with Venita.
