Resolution Circles

Building trust...restoring harmony
Conflict Resolution Circles are a powerful response to workplace disruptions. Egalitarian and non-punitive, they support honest and courageous conversations, offering real resolution with lasting impact. Not only can they effectively resolve conflict that has resisted other interventions, they foster real skill development in participants - skills that affect the team's on-going relations and the organizational culture as a whole.
If your workplace is struggling to recover from
- interpersonal conflict;
- an event that broke your spirit;
- efforts to "fix" the problem of the office bully; or
- organizational changes that have resulted in fractures and competition...
a Resolution Circle may offer the relief you need.
Facilitated and structured, yet group powered and flexible, Resolution Circles provide a safe environment for difficult conversations, to address the roots of conflict, build trust and harmony, and restore equanimity to the environment.
The Circle approach to conflict resolution comes from the Native and Restorative Justice streams of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). They have been adapted to many settings.
Circles draw on the best of human nature.
They provide an optimal setting to address that which happened under less optimal circumstances.
