Hands on Guidance
Negotiation Coaching
MCLE Trainer
Mari’s negotiation, conflict transformation and leadership training programs and coaching inspire participants to develop the skills and understanding to build and sustain excellence in their professional and personal lives. One of the greatest challenges for leaders is creating a collaborative environment that inspires cooperation and teamwork. It’s not enough to know strategies- real training must show attendees how to use the skills and give them the chance to apply and implement the skills. Training must be meaningful, challenging, rewarding, evidence based, and applicable in the real world of divergent views.
The principles and concepts she teaches are effective for anyone and any profession. Conflict occurs in everyone’s professional and personal life- so it’s critical that leaders learn how to deal with it effectively. Mari’s successful conflict resolution and negotiation career experience coupled with the competencies she has mastered, demonstrate and inspire participants to utilize the unique tools she shares, to effectively transform conflict into opportunities for successful leadership and collaboration.
