  • Creating Safe Spaces: The Role of Empathy and Reflection in Workplace Mediation
    2025/07/15
    In this episode of "All Things Conflict," Maria Arpa MBE welcomes back her husband, David Ellis, a seasoned mediator with over 20 years of experience. They delve into the intricacies of workplace mediation, exploring how it transcends mere conflict resolution to foster genuine human connections. David emphasises the importance of creating a safe space for individuals to reflect on their experiences and emotions, allowing them to navigate their relationships more effectively. The conversation touches on the evolving landscape of employment law and the necessity for employers to prioritise the well-being of their employees, highlighting that a compassionate approach can lead to a more engaged and productive workforce. Through their discussion, Maria and David advocate for a shift in workplace culture, encouraging leaders to embrace empathy and understanding as fundamental components of a thriving business environment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Holistic Understanding of Employees: It's essential to recognize that employees are whole human beings with diverse roles and experiences outside of work. Acknowledging their personal lives can lead to better workplace relationships and understanding. Importance of Safe Spaces: Mediation provides a unique opportunity for individuals to express their feelings and concerns in a safe environment, allowing for reflection and open dialogue without fear of repercussions. Proactive Approach to Workplace Issues: Employers should not wait for conflicts or grievances to arise before addressing employee well-being. A proactive approach that fosters open communication can prevent issues from escalating and create a more harmonious work environment. Value of Empathy and Kindness: Creating a workplace culture that prioritizes empathy, kindness, and understanding can lead to increased employee satisfaction, better performance, and a more cohesive team dynamic. Legislative Changes and Employer Responsibility: New employment laws are pushing businesses to take responsibility for their employees' well-being. Employers should view these changes as opportunities to enhance workplace culture rather than as burdensome requirements.

  • WORKPLACE CONFLICT SPECIAL: An Episode with Shannon Pearson
    2025/07/13
    In this deeply personal and raw conversation, Shannon Pearson opens up about her journey from being a trusted HR leader to becoming the target of a system she once believed in. What began as a career rooted in care and service unravelled in the face of organizational dysfunction, toxic silence, and moral injury. This is not just a story of conflict — it's a story of betrayal, awakening, and personal transformation. Shannon speaks candidly about what it felt like to be gaslit, isolated, and ultimately broken by the very system she tried to help fix. Now a coach and conflict practitioner, Shannon reflects on how conflict changed her — and what it taught her about power, identity, compassion, and courage. Key Takeaways: You can be both respected and completely unsupported in a broken system. Moral injury in the workplace is real — and recovery requires grieving and rebuilding. Silence in conflict isn’t neutral. It protects power and erases harm. Healing starts when we stop blaming ourselves for what the system failed to hold. 🔗 Connect with Shannon: LinkedIn: Shannon Pearson Website: shannonpearson.ca We will be releasing special episodes every couple of weeks and these will be a deeper dive into the guests and the conflict subjects.

  • Family, Trust & Fallout: Why Family Businesses Break Down - Ed Weeks
    2025/07/08
    In this powerful episode, we dive into the emotional and legal complexities of family business conflict with solicitor and dispute resolution expert Ed Weeks. With decades of experience helping families navigate shareholder breakdowns, succession battles, and deep-seated sibling rivalries, Ed shares what really causes these disputes—and how to stop them from destroying relationships and companies alike. We talk trust, betrayal, power dynamics, and why no one ever wants a shareholders’ agreement... until it’s too late. Ed also lifts the lid on the psychology behind mediation, why litigation often makes things worse, and how to spot the real reason a family can’t move forward. Whether you’re in a family business, advise one, or simply want to understand conflict better, this episode is filled with eye-opening insights. Key Takeaways Trust is not a strategy. Without structure, family businesses are vulnerable. Legal documents feel unromantic—but they’re life-saving. Most family disputes are emotional, not rational. And that’s what makes them so hard to fix. Look beyond the surface. Sometimes, the person who looks neutral is fuelling the conflict. The best lawyer won’t just fight—they’ll help you walk away whole. Host Bio Maria founded the Centre for Peaceful Solutions in response to the fatal shooting of a 7 year old in her neighbourhood.
