Holistic Approach to Conflict Transformation

Based on my Essence Framework for Authentic Leadership

Authentic leadership, to me, is a state and skillset, where mind, heart and body align so that you can lead yourself and others through uncertainty with the highest degree of authenticity, integrity and confidence. When all three pillars come together, we call this an authentic leader.

Authentic Communication

For conflict resolution it is essential to develop the skills to express vulnerably and precisely your inner experience, while staying connected to your values. It comes with empathy, compassion and the ability to speak to another person's experience.
This pillar includes elements of:

Nonviolent communication, vulnerable leadership & mediation

Self-

Awareness

Authentic leaders are aware of their own triggers, patterns, trauma, projections and personal conditioning. In situations of conflict and tension, this ability allows leaders to identify filters that may be taint their perception and move into a more conscious state.
This pillar includes elements of:

Mindfulness, trauma-informed facilitation & psychology

Emotional

Mastery

Authentic leaders are capable of dealing with complex emotional situations and can remain connected to their inner balance, while navigating uncertainty. In conflicts this essential skill moves leaders from a reactive state into a place of calm and creativity.

This pillar includes elements of:

Nervous system regulation, embodiment & somatic experiencing

This is for you, if you are

A CEO, entrepreneur or founder and

  • Want to handle conflicts like a pro

  • Willing to show yourself vulnerably

  • Sick of stress and loosing money due to unskillful conflict resolution

This is not for you, if you

  • Aren't willing to take responsibility for your growth and are looking for a quick-fix

  • Want to continue avoiding conflicts or blaming others

  • Accept losing money, time, and energy to unskillful conflict resolution

Save money, gain time and increase innovative potential!

If you don't feel significantly more confident in transforming conflicts, I'll keep coaching you for free until you do!

"From avoiding conflicts to using their potential with ease!"

"Conflict is likely one of the most uncomfortable topics in our lives. None of us like it, many of us avoid it. Through John, I learned how to transform these conflicts into opportunities for learning, growth and better decision-making. This shift has completely transformed the way I lead. Now I feel ready to step into them with ease, knowing I have the tools to navigate them with integrity and impact."
