Where there is collaboration, irritation or discomfort frequently arises. It is not always easy to put your finger precisely on the sore spot and discuss existing dissatisfaction in a constructive way. In dialogue counseling, our mediators explore the real problem with all involved. With respectful dialogue, a lasting solution comes into view.
Dialogue is the tool on many issues. Improving mutual cooperation, getting clear on team goals, changing leadership style. We engage in dialogue with those who are needed. This can be a team, 2 people or multiple participants. We name the problems, clear up misunderstandings and work to improve communication. Then we will see how the desired future can take shape.
All discussion participants are given space to share their views. Our experienced mediators choose a technique or exercise that can bring movement to this particular situation. Sometimes that is an intervention or a form of play. Sometimes a break in the group process helps, and individual conversations bring the collaborative process back on track. Thus, together we will find the way to a pleasant future cooperation.
In practice
We mediate requests for help such as:
- The manager’s communication style creates friction.
- There are too many (improvement) ideas and that gets in the way of real action.
- Two or more individuals within a team avoid each other.
- Due to a reorganization, the team has lost track of who performs what tasks and why.
- Associates no longer share the same vision for the future.
With respectful dialogue, a lasting solution comes into view
