with Shiv Martin
Monday lunchtime 12–1:30pm on the last Monday of each month
Free monthly lunchbox reflective practice sessions.
Our Resolution Institute member community includes a broad range of mediators, conciliators, facilitators and dispute resolution practitioners working in the government sector. Working in public service brings unique opportunities and challenges. We must deliver high class dispute resolution processes that promote peace, improve trust in government, fulfil the requirements of legislation and protect the interests of vulnerable individuals.
Reflective practice is a path to continuous learning through reflecting and learning from daily workplace successes and challenges. We will use these sessions to share helpful resources and support each other in our work as public servants. Shiv will facilitate conversations and introduce new topics for conversation in topics such as cross-cultural communication, managing limited resources, dealing with unreasonable conduct, designing efficient workflows, procedural fairness, effective and respectful communication, understanding new legal developments and many more
Our leading Public Service trainer Shiv Martin has worked with a broad range of Commissions, Tribunals, Courts, Authorities and other integrity and complaints handling bodies on a broad range of conflict resolution training and process improvement projects.
