Summary
Mediator and social justice advocate Bruce Argyle reflects on a lifetime of resolving conflict - from youth work and parent-teen mediations to navigating high-stakes boardroom disputes and multi-party conflicts in a hospital ward. He shares the lessons of over 700 mediations, a vineyard sabotage, a Highlander sword siege, and the art of actually being heard. With humour, humility, and heart, Bruce explores what makes mediation work—and why respect is at the centre of it all. Keep track of new stories at https://conflictstories.com . Hosted on Acast.
