Conflict

Face what’s real.
Fight well.
Move forward.

Conflict isn’t the problem.
Avoiding it, mishandling it, or letting it simmer—that’s where the damage happens.

I work with leaders, founders, and C-level teams in high-speed environments—people who can’t afford to waste time in silent tension or power games.

In these settings, it’s not enough to be nice or efficient.
You need the capacity to work through difference—before it turns into dysfunction.

That means knowing how to disagree, how to decide, and how to stay connected while doing it.

Good Fights:
The Practice of Real Collaboration

Good fights are not about drama or dominance.
They’re about building the capacity to work with difference—constructively, respectfully, and without shutting down.

They’re a leadership and team practice, grounded in psychological safety, mutual accountability, and a willingness to stay in conversation—even when it’s hard.

This work is especially relevant for executive teams, founder duos, and leadership groups under pressure—where decisions are fast, stakes are high, and alignment matters.

We draw on the work of Amy Edmondson, Edgar Schein, and Ron Heifetz to develop a way of working that’s clear, connected, and resilient.

We explore:

  • How to disagree productively, not just politely

  • How to make decisions without hidden agendas or backchanneling

  • How to name tensions before they harden

  • How diversity becomes a strength, not a silent source of friction

  • How to give feedback that supports both learning and trust

This isn’t conflict resolution after the fact.
It’s about growing your team’s
conflict capacity—before it’s too late.

Klarungshilfe:
When Collaboration Breaks Down

When tension has turned into avoidance, reactivity, or silence—what’s needed is not a better meeting, but a reset.

Klarungshilfe is a recognized mediation method for organizational conflict.
It’s used when collaboration breaks down, and the usual conversations can no longer happen safely or productively.

I am a certified mediator, trained in this method rooted in the work of Christian Prior, Christoph Thomann, and Friedemann Schulz von Thun.

This is a structured, time-limited process that brings clarity to what’s been left unsaid—so that leaders, co-founders, and C-level teams can move forward with honesty and integrity.

Sometimes, Klarungshilfe clears the way for renewed trust and alignment.
Sometimes, it makes space for a respectful and necessary decision to part ways.

Either way, it brings truth into the room.
Because real collaboration begins where pretense ends.

Is It Time for Support?

Good Fights are for you if:

  • You’re navigating deep differences at the leadership level (style, priorities, direction)

  • You want to build psychological safety and resilience in your team

  • You need better ways to speak up, disagree, and decide together

  • You care about inclusion—and want the practices to back it up

  • Trust has eroded in the leadership team

  • The executive team is split—or quietly disengaging

  • Conflict has become personal, and no longer feels safe to address

  • You want a structured way to reset—or consciously let go

Klarungshilfe is for you if:

Conflict Can Be a Turning Point

Handled well, conflict doesn’t just clear the air.
It deepens connection, sharpens focus, and builds
maturity in a team.

But only if you're willing to face it—with clarity,
structure, and courage.

Let’s Work Through It—Together
