Summary

Global mediator, people-centred leader and conflict innovator Laura May PhD shares her international journey through mediation, leadership and organisational change. From growing up in Tasmania to living and working across Australia, the UK, Russia, Belgium and now Spain, Laura brings a truly global perspective to resolving conflict and helping organisations put people first. Laura reflects on how her conflict resolution journey transformed her from a self-described conflict “shark” into a collaborative “owl” - and what blame, curiosity and even tango dancing can teach us about building healthier relationships.
