The Conflict Strategist℠ ⦁ Workplace conflict? If you are stuck in conflict, I will get you unstuck ⦁ Team Managers, HR Leaders, & Business Owners, DM to learn more ⦁ Quick Tips: Read my blog, The Strats℠

If you struggle with:
>Feeling anxious about difficult conversations
>Avoiding conflicts with your colleagues
>Being managed by a micromanager
>Hesitating to negotiate about work, deadlines, and more.

THEN count on me to help you transform your response and reframe how you communicate.

How? I will be your guide to reimagine conflict, negotiations & communication. I empower you to build a framework for success with proven strategies and techniques.

My name is Leslie Nydick, The Conflict Strategist. Let’s unlock your conflict-solving superpowers.

Why me? I was in the middle of conflict every day. I felt stuck.

I was bombarded with:
>A never-ending flow of demands from internal clients
>Complaints from user groups about shared spaces
>Missed deadlines by vendors, without any notice
>Emails that sounded like people were upset with me.

What was I doing? I was leading real estate, design, & construction in all types of industries: financial services, education, publishing, entertainment, communications, & government. 

There was something they ALL had in common: CONFLICT 

What did I do? There were a lot of attempts, fails, mishaps, AND finally, the wins. I cracked the code for managing conflicts, and I want to share it with you.

Your choice:

>The Conflict Tune-Up: a compact service with impact. We start with a survey. Then we meet, virtually or in person. I deliver an action plan. We finish with check-ins.

>Coaching or Facilitating: whether the conflict is with an individual or a team, I will lead you to a new framework of communication & resolution. 

>Customized Learning Programs: this is a great choice to be proactive before your team is stuck in conflict, or when they are struggling with a pattern of conflict.

>COMING SOON: Bootcamps & Learning Programs for individuals, teams & organizations.

What results can you expect:

Increased Productivity: Research shows that up to 50% of our time is spent managing conflict. Trade those hours of managing conflict to refocus on core responsibilities.

Happier Workplaces: Unmanaged conflict results in toxic workplaces, and people leave. If conflict is swiped away, it gets worse. When conflict is managed, relationships grow, people are happier at work, and we want to stay. 

Why me?
My clients do NOT come back, 
EXCEPT to give me updates, 
and to share referrals.

I have helped thousands transform conflict into opportunity, and I am ready to support you.
