listen to connect, connect to listen
halting…standing still
connecting
with yourself
with the other(s)
in order to listen…curiously
to what there is to say
to what doesn’t get spoken about
coming into motion
Do you want to prevent conflict? Or become better at managing productive conflict and strong decision making? Do you want support to make your leadership more suitable to your team, to your task and to the people in your team?
Do you want support to find out who needs to talk with whom, about what and how?
Let’s listen to and look at the tensions or conflict in your team or group.
Are your team meetings boring, or indecisive? Do you seem to talk around in circles? Do you avoid talking about certain topics? Or do you want support to make co-responsibility work in your team?
Let’s listen to what your team has to say. And explore the different layers of your cooperation and work together. Patterns and reoccurring elements of tension are our guide...to find a space brave enough to listen en talk about what really matters.
I support you with frameworks that offer grappling hooks for a stronger cooperation and decision making.
I accompany you to listen to each other, despite the tensions between you. To hear, if you wish, the story behind each other’s story. For communication to flow again. For re-connection to become possible and to make those agreements you wish to make.
Mediation can be organised between two colleagues or larger groups of colleagues.
Contact me if you want to explore how this conflict or these tensions could be an opportunity. To start doing things differently…together or separately.
Do you want to carefully listen to what your team has to say? And use your teams wisdom? Do you want to stimulate more co-responsibility? And make stronger decisions that stand the test of tension? Do you want to strengthen your conflict prevention and management skills?
Let’s take a plunge together to visit your responsibilities, obstacles, approach, doubts and successes.
The opportunity to grow as a leader sits there where you can feel tension.
Contact me to explore what the training or workshop you have in mind, should bring the group. I offer trainings in conflict sensitive leadership, conflict prevention, deep democracy and many topics more.
I always work out content and approach that fits your organisation, the group and your situation - tailor made.
In the future, I also plan to have a small open offer. Contact me if you would like to be informed.
“Nele has this rare ability to listen to people in a way that makes your own internal processes clearer. She is a very intelligent guide. Integer and patient and at the same time skillful and wise. The coaching with Nele was very enriching for me. It was clarifying, and I have learned a lot. Above all, it was lots of fun!
Marina, December 2022
“Nele worked with one of our teams. Tensions and conflict complicated their cooperation. She helped us to get clear on what had been uncomfortable to say to each other. She excelled at ‘reading’ the different colleagues and she is very strong methodologically.”
Director in the metalsector, October 2023
"During the mediation and conflictcoaching with one of our teams, Nele was prepared for and flexible to change the process and methods, according to the situation. We could realy trust her expertise. Furthermore, I would describe her as open in spirit, with a 'very human' working style. And her neutrality is as strong as steel."
HR coordinator at a City Council, December 2023
I mediate conflict in the workplace (certified and recognised by the Belgian Federal Mediation Commission) and coach teams and leaders with an emphasis on conflict prevention, management and conflict mediation. I offer tailor made and introductory training on leadership, conflict prevention and a range of related topics.
Apart from this, I actively partner up with initiatives for community and societal dialogue development.
I am a cultural anthropologist and sociologist and a Mediator by training. I am a certified Deep Democracy Facilitator (level 4) and a certified Job Coach.
I took trainings in theme centred interaction, visual thinking, creative methods, traumasensitive working and transformative mediation & dialogue.
I have more than 20 years of experience and worked abroad in peace programmes - international cooperation, amongst others. I also draw from my experience as a manager of different teams.
In my work as a coach and mediator, I put an emphasis on empowering and communicative (self)leadership. I have experience working with companies, associations, universities, schools and local gouvernment.
When mediating highly escalated conflict, people find me warm and strong at the same time. Because of my solidity as a professional, I can support people’s own potential and strength, despite the conflict in which they sometimes feel trapped.
Whenever relevant and suitable, I cooperate with other coaches, mediators and trainers. Especially when working with bigger groups or on larger projects.
