ConfrontationForce

Difficult conversations, made good

Since I was young, conflict and confrontation have both frightened and attracted me. In my childhood home, I learned – like so many others – guilt, shame and blame. Often over things I had no idea were "wrong". It became a pattern. When something got difficult, I froze, fled, attacked.

As an actor, the theatre became my first training ground. In drama there is always conflict – but on stage everything was safe and organised. The big emotions could find space without anyone getting really hurt. Later, in my early forties, I took a module in conflict management. That changed everything. I gained language for the psychological in me, the philosophical and the courage to accept the discomfort – and a method for facing confrontations without being engulfed in "attack-flight-freeze".

Today I see confrontation as development. With preparation, values, courage and method, difficult conversations can liberate both people and organisations. It has become my great passion to help leaders and teams have the conversations that create direction, calm and results – without losing each other along the way.

With ConfrontationForce we make difficult conversations clear, proper and effective: Courage, language and action.

We work with philosophy, method and psychology at eye level – so you go from uncertainty to direction, and from friction to momentum.
