Dr. Tammy Lenski helps individuals and teams buffer important relationships from the negative effects of conflict without impeding collaboration, creativity, or effective decision-making.

The way we disagree has an impact on the quality of our work, the resilience of our relationships, and the joy in our lives.

We can approach differences and disagreements in ways that buffer our most important personal and professional relationships from the negative effects of conflict. We can disagree in ways that spark collaboration and better decisions instead of destructive conflict and tension.

Tammy in the media

For over two decades Dr. Tammy Lenski has brought the tools and skills of the executive coach, professional mediator, and conflict resolution speaker, and teacher to help individuals, pairs, and teams navigate disagreement better, address friction, and build alignment.

Tammy’s current work centers on helping individuals and teams disagree better by creating the conditions for robust collaboration and sound decisions while also fostering resilient personal and professional relationships.

Dr. Tammy Lenski founded her conflict resolution firm in 1997 after a decade in higher education leadership, serving as a dean, vice president, and assistant professor. In addition to working with private clients, she’s served on the faculty of four U.S. graduate programs, including as co-founder of the world’s first master’s degree in mediation.

Tammy has served on numerous boards, committees, and professional panels, including the New England Association for Conflict Resolution, New Hampshire Supreme Court ADR Committee, New Hampshire Conflict Resolution Association, Vermont Women in Higher Education, New Hampshire Probate Court Mediation Panel, SquareTrade Mediator Panel (mediation for eBay), the New England Resource Center for Higher Education Think Tank, and the Monadnock Humane Society. She’s mediated thousands of private, court-affiliated, and e-commerce cases, and has served as keynote speaker and presenter for regional, national, and international conflict resolution conferences, private organizations, and higher education groups throughout the world.

Tammy’s two books, The Conflict Pivot and Making Mediation Your Day Job, have sold more than 20,000 copies worldwide. Her conflict resolution blog has readers on six continents and at organizations as diverse as Daimler AG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Intel, Kennedy Center, Kaiser Permanente, Harvard University, MIT, NOAA, the U.S. Small Business Association, and the FBI.

Tammy earned her Bachelor’s degree in world literature from Middlebury College, Master’s and Doctorate in higher education leadership from The University of Vermont, and a post-doc certificate in mediation and conflict resolution from Woodbury College.

She lives in New Hampshire with her husband of 31 years and an exuberant mutt. When she’s not working, she’s usually hiking, competing in dog agility, gardening, or doing genealogical research.
