Conflict Resolution, Conflict Prevention and Mediation

SAFE 2B Psychological Safety Training Course

When you need assistance from a neutral, third party to dissolve the conflict between team members, my trauma informed approach to conflict resolution:

1. Gets parties quickly to the place where they are dealing, directly, with what's at the root of their conflict;
2. Prevents the parties from exploiting power tactics to get their way;
3. Reduces any risks of future conflict.

Conflict coaching is available for individuals, pairs and groups. Since 2010 Philip Be'er has been studying every aspect of interpersonal conflict and his unique approach to resolving and preventing conflicts delivers exceptional results.

SAFE 2B is a four month program empowering participants to identify and eliminate psychologically harmful behaviours, patterns and attitudes in their workplace.

• Enrolled employees receive weekly microlessons via an app on their phone, or at their workstation.
• SAFE 2B provides training on topics relevant to DEI, mental health, psychological safety, bullying-prevention and conflict resolution.
• Envision a culture where resources that have, traditionally, been allocated to disciplining employees and conducting investigations, can be put to better use.

In 2015 Philip Be'er published 'Learning to Love', his first book about the way that humans interact, the role that conflict plays, and how to eliminate conflict.

The book was followed by a series of simple, yet sophisticated graphic tools for deeply understanding interpersonal dynamics in a person's  workplace, their communities and their home.

Using this remarkable suite of tools, he's succeeded in working with clients to find solutions to their biggest challenges.

Philip occasionally delivers talks and presentations on the all topics appearing on this site and is always looking for opportunites to share his wisdom in breakout sessions and elsewhere.

Effective psychological safety programs like SAFE 2B deliver immediate reductions in workplace stress, while eliminating all (or nearly all) interpersonal conflicts.

Noticeable improvements in mental health correspond to the length of time that an employee has been working in your emotionally-safe environment, rather than the reverse.

Envision a culture where resources that have, traditionally, been allocated to disciplining employees and conducting investigations, can be put to better use.

Philip took me through parts of his B-Loops using negative belief systems that I hold about myself and others. It was like seeing myself as the other person ... as I unpacked how what I judge in others, sits inside of me too. Then further looking at the positive aspects of a particular "negative" trait and seeing how it has served me freed me to be more compassionate and accepting of myself, in fact it helped me shift a major piece around shame that I have been carrying for years now. It seems like such a simple process, but the impact is immense, I am so grateful that I got to experience the process in such a profound way.

Looking at my darkness/shadow side and transforming how I view my "perceived" flaws was amazing. Taking a look ... at my insecurities as a parent and human in interpersonal relationships was transformed from guilt and isolation to strength and validation and........ Community...... I no longer question if I'm good enough. I know I am. I have truly released myself from the "behavioural loops" that held me back from moving forward and claiming the life I want.

Thank you so much Philip! It looks like you have wrought a miracle. Kudos to the two of them as well. I know they did some important work.
