HUGHES CONFLICT NAVIGATION
Helping people navigate hard stuff
Hello, I'm Stacy and I work with individuals, groups, and organizations to:
Address conflict through mediation, coaching, facilitation
To build skills to deal with conflict through a variety of trainings
And to understand the people and world around us by learning about key ideas of peace
Geographic scope: California Central Coast - Statewide - US - Japan - Beyond
Services
Helping people work through conflict more constructively and effectively. Processes are confidential, voluntary, and highly flexible and adaptable. The mediator / facilitator manages the communication process and parties determine the outcome.
When two or more parties to a dispute are willing to utilize a mediation process.
For individuals wanting support in understanding and navigating conflict, or when the other side(s) do not want to mediate.
Helping groups communicate more effectively, address difficult issues, and work toward shared goals.
Training & Learning
Building practical skills and learning about the underlying ideas of peace and conflict.
Building skills to better navigate conflict more effectively and/or improve relationships with the people around us. Key topics include communication, anger, deescalation, and problem-solving. For individuals and groups. Trainings can range from 2 to 20 hours and are highly customizable to meet needs, interests, schedules, logistical requirements, etc.
Peace is the most ancient aspiration and yet it's emergence as a distinct field of inquiry is relatively recent. What does peace mean? What are some basic contcepts and how can they help us understand challenges between individuals, countries, and everything in between?
Community Conflict Resolution Resources
Community-based nonprofit conflict resolution centers are valuable, often under-utilized resources. I work closely with the Conflict Resolution Center of Santa Cruz County (CA, USA) and encourage people in the area to enlist their services.
