Turning conflict into clarity and forward movement
Services
Workplace Mediation
Helping colleagues create clearer, more productive working relationships
When friction, tension, or miscommunication affects colleagues’ ability to work well together, it can influence the broader team. Workplace Mediation offers a structured, confidential process to clarify issues, reset expectations, and support more constructive collaboration going forward.
What it is
A guided process that helps two colleagues identify what’s getting in the way, be heard, and develop shared agreements for moving forward. Through confidential individual conversations and a facilitated joint session, each person has space to reflect, listen, and identify more constructive ways of collaborating.
Who it's for
Peers or manager/direct report pairs experiencing ongoing tension
HR or leaders seeking a constructive, confidential path for addressing conflict
Teams wanting to address strain before it spreads
Typical format
Individual intake conversations with each participant, followed by one joint facilitated session over approximately 2–3 weeks
What to expect
Elephante helps participants move from frustration or avoidance toward clearer understanding and productive collaboration. Summary documentation capturing key understandings, commitments, and next steps supports accountability and helps guide the working relationship going forward.
The Partnership Table
Facilitating alignment for co-founders, leadership teams, and cross-organizational partnerships
When key partnerships start to strain, whether between co-founders, leadership teams, or organizations working together, clarity and trust can erode, slowing progress and decision-making. The Partnership Table provides a structured, facilitated process to name what’s getting in the way and establish clearer understanding, direction, and momentum.
What it is
A structured, confidential process that brings leaders and teams together to surface what’s unspoken, strengthen communication, and align around shared expectations and agreements.
Who it's for
Co-founders and business partners facing tension or misalignment
Leadership or cross-functional teams navigating disagreement, change, or breakdowns in communication
Cross-organizational partnerships bridging different cultures, priorities, or decision styles
Typical format
Individual intake conversations, followed by 2–4 joint facilitated sessions over 4–8 weeks
What to expect
Through confidential stakeholder conversations and facilitated sessions, Elephante helps participants move toward clearer understanding and more aligned decision-making. The process culminates in a Partnership Alignment Charter — a concise, co-created summary of agreements, expectations, and next steps.
Executive Conflict Coaching
Helping leaders reduce stress, understand conflict patterns, and navigate tension with Steadiness and SKILL
Tension in difficult relationships, complex decisions, and high-pressure environments can take a real toll on leaders. Executive Conflict Coaching provides a confidential space to reflect, recalibrate, and develop approaches to conflict that strengthen working relationships, improve leadership effectiveness, and support a more constructive mindset that views conflict as information rather than disruption.
What it is
A one-on-one coaching engagement designed to help leaders understand their conflict patterns, stay grounded under pressure, and communicate in ways that build trust and alignment. Coaching blends practical tools with deeper self-awareness, helping leaders navigate tension with steadiness, empathy, and clarity.
Who it's for
Leaders seeking new patterns in how they approach and respond to conflict
Leaders preparing for high-stakes or difficult conversations
Leaders modeling a more constructive approach to conflict across their teams
Typical format
4–6 private sessions over 6–8 weeks, or 1–2 accelerated sessions for urgent situations
What to expect
Through guided reflection, strategy development, and applied practice, leaders gain insight, renewed clarity, and more constructive approaches to conflict. Coaching supports stronger working relationships, calmer decision-making, and more effective leadership in challenging situations. An accelerated format is available for urgent, time-sensitive needs.
The Opportunity in Conflict Workshop
Recognizing tension as a pathway to clarity, connection, and ALIGNED ACTION
Conflict is part of every workplace, but it doesn’t have to be negative. When approached with curiosity and skill, it becomes a source of insight, deeper understanding, and stronger collaboration.
What it is
A facilitated, experiential workshop that helps individuals and teams reframe how they see and respond to conflict. Participants explore how tension affects their nervous system, identify their personal patterns, and practice ways to stay grounded, listen well, and engage more constructively.
Who it's for
Teams seeking confidence in navigating tension
Leaders who want to model calmer, more constructive responses
Organizations building collaboration across differences
Typical format
2.5-3 hour session or 4 hour half-day
What to expect
Through discussion, reflection, and applied practice, participants learn practical tools, including grounding techniques, pattern-awareness exercises, and strategies for addressing conflict more directly and skillfully. The workshop enhances participants’ ability to navigate tension with more clarity, steadiness, and constructive action.
