Disagree better
The way we deal with conflict shapes the caliber of our work, the focus of our attention, the strength of our relationships, and the extent of our influence.
Working with Tammy is like changing the air in the room.

Conflict can feel like a relentless drain.
It steals your time and saps your energy. It corrodes vital relationships and stalls important initiatives.
The emotional labor of soothing tensions, mending rifts, and second-guessing every move become an invisible second job.
You can change this.
When viewpoints collide, the way to reduce the pain and drain of conflict isn’t to agree more or disagree less, but to disagree better.
Just as when we explore a new city or hike a new trail, we disagree better by learning to recognize key waypoints, notice hidden gems, and navigate tricky terrain.
Hi, I’m Tammy
For three decades I’ve helped people lighten the emotional labor of conflict to keep work on track and relationships sound when viewpoints collide.
Mediating thousands of disputes, teaching negotiation and conflict resolution, and coaching people who want to change their relationship with conflict have given me a front row seat to what makes the difference between healthy conflict and damaging dynamics.
It’s the difference I want for all of us.
Less time fighting friction, more time doing what matters
“A profound contribution to my professional and personal growth.”
“You have made such a profound contribution to my professional and personal growth. I was stuck in the same dance, doing the same steps, creating the same dynamics over and over. Now I’ve changed the dance.”
