Julie is highly experienced and trained in the development of Environment and Landcare Community Groups and Catchment Management Groups as well as Community Environmental Advisory Groups. However, the principals are the same with most Groups and her experience can help guide you through the process or provide your group with some invigoration.

Managing and Mediating Conflict within a Community Group

Amongst any Group of people who come together there may be challenges along the way as the Group meanders its way towards achieving their united Vision. There are many reasons why conflicts occur, but inevitably they do. It is notably how quickly the conflict gets acknowledged and how fairly it gets resolved, that reflects the most positive outcomes for the members of the Group and the Group itself.

After managing Groups for more than 20 years, Julie has many skills to pass on to your team members and your Group. She is available for assistance with conflict management and mediation.

Julie can also explain the rules of mediation and conflict resolution within your constitution and help you create your own policies within your Group. This can help to ensure that if and when conflict does arise within or externally to the Group that a well-balanced, fair and thorough mediation and conflict resolution process is available and is used.
