Gill Kirk
Conflict costs.
Buy yourself a breathing space.
Whatever your organisation, however late in the day, when a conflict is blocking your progress, call Gill Kirk.
For every kind of organisation. If your goal is to win, rather than progress, I’m not for you.
When talking directly to each other doesn’t feel possible, mediation is the pause button: a confidential space to think and explore every option.
People arrive facing each other. They leave side by side, facing their future.
I’m a strategist, senior adviser and mediator. I specialise in situations where conflict is brewing, or has already boiled over. When you need mediation, I help all sides develop fair solutions.
People. Progress. Not blame.
Don’t wait. Don’t escalate. Mediate.
There’s a way in at any stage. The earlier I’m in, the quicker the change – before it spreads.
Board, finance, HR and communications teams call early. Lawyers appoint me when it has escalated. The board can come in at any stage.
