Our Work Experience; in the UK

Andy Mason

Most recent work, July 2010

• Andy is coaching the participants from Neopost, suppliers of postal machines, who previously attended two two-day residential conflict transformation workshops. The participants consistently reported that the training 'met my need for a framework/structure when dealing with a difficult situation'. Neopost have requested another group of managers receive the same training later in 2010.
• Working to help a charity in Brighton find a new name. The process, based on understanding and consensus, consistently leaves those present feelings energised and positive. This is in marked contrast to previous attempts to change the name through traditional debate which resulted in division.

• Training with Khulisa in March to run their violence reduction programmes in UK prisons.
