Tammy Lenski’s Summary
At the heart of it, I'm a teacher, craftsman, and, I hope, transformer.
I teach individuals, partners and groups how to untangle disagreements, get back on track, and build dynamic personal and professional partnerships by harnessing conflict differently. I craft conversations that halt damage and reinvent business and relationships. And I write and speak about the learning and doing of transformative conflict resolution.
My book, Making Mediation Your Day Job, was published in January 2008 and is available from all major online booksellers.
Tammy Lenski’s Specialties:
