I have used Gavin Emerson’s services for a selection of challenges over the last few years, some of which were incredibly sensitive and I have to say that Gavin offers an absolutely outstanding service. He is extremely knowledgeable, considerate and empathetic which gives you a sense of confidence that is invaluable when dealing with such important issues. I would thoroughly recommend understanding Conflict Intelligence to anyone needing help in resolving all manner of issues in the smoothest and least stressful way possible.(Name withheld)

I believe that if we had not come to see you we would still be stuck in a muddy quagmire looking desperately for a way out with no idea of which way to go. So thank you so much for the skills you have taught us (Name withheld, Brighton, UK )
A year ago my partner and I found ourselves in the middle of an extremely stressful and emotional family conflict. It pushed me into a place of real desperation and anxiety. After a few weeks of ‘surviving’ Gavin was recommended to us and things began to change. From the moment we started working with Gavin we both felt heard and understood. He gave us such amazing and wise insight into the conflict that we were too close to see and gradually over the weeks and months he helped us to build up a successful tool kit to manage the conflict and help me to feel more empowered. Our situation still needs constant work but thanks to Gavin I now feel confident enough to manage it on my own. However, I know that I can call him anytime for help and guidance and he will respond swiftly. Not only has working with Gavin seen us through an incredibly stressful time but the skills that we have learned from him have also allowed us to deal with general conflict in a more positive and confident way.

I sought the help from Gavin for a dispute with a close family member. I was at a point whereby I could see my relationship with them just ending. Gavin helped me by providing a different perspective on my situation and gave me step by step guidance to help manage the dispute and get things back on track. I would highly recommend Gavin and understanding conflict Intelligence to anyone who is in a dispute with a family member but wants to try and find a way to resolve it as best they can. Thank you Gavin, honestly without your help I believe we would no longer be speaking so thanks again. (Name withheld, Surrey, UK)
I initially met Gavin Emerson, at an international conference where he was speaking on communication and disputes. He subsequently helped me better understand the best ways to manage a dispute within our industry. The knowledge and skills he taught me were highly informative and extremely helpful in producing a positive outcome. I have also utilised these skills for disputes in my private life.

Without your help I would not have been able to physically sit in the same room as my abusive ex. I cannot express how much of a difference Gavin’s help has made in that respect. It has not only been your ability to try and steer from dispute that has made an impact but I actually feel you have helped to heal some of the damage that was done. Thank you Gavin, your calm understanding, insight and therapy have meant so much. I feel more empowered again, with strength, new skills and resilience to keep moving it forward in a positive way for my family. (Name withheld, Sussex UK)
I just wanted to say thank for your significant help in getting everyone to the point today where we could meet and to listen to each others experiences. I know that you have worked hard to overcome barriers in communication and I believe that it has proved extremely productive for all of us. Thank you for all your support.

Gavin provided great advice for me regarding a conflict I was having with a colleague. He helped calm the situation down and help me view things differently, which lead to a very positive change in the situation and my life. (Name withheld, London, UK)
You really helped me manage a conflict that I was having with my manager at work. It was bothering me so much and I was finding work extremely stressful due to the tense situation. Gavin helped/ coach me on how best to manage the dispute, meaning I was able to stay in my job without leaving. Really valuable advice. (Name withheld, London, UK )
Being involved in the conference sector I have listened to many presentations and can say that Gavin is certainly in the top 10% of speakers that I have come across. He engages with the audience and provides an interactive style on conflict resolution that the audience always enjoy. I would highly recommend Gavin for speaking engagements and for hosting workshops on conflict resolution and interactive sessions at events. (Name withheld, Partner at Global BioAg Linkages)
