Thanks for the session the other day. It really created a great impact. Specifically helpful and useful were the things you said about what We can control and what we cannot. I often beat myself too much about why I am not being able to make a difference. But now understanding that certain things are out of my control makes me feel at peace and allows me to divert my attention to things I can control.

During the workshop, Hanna emphasised how to differentiate between the things that matter and those which don't. I believe this point doesn't only apply in the business world but also our personal lives. I have learnt a lot from her workshop and highly recommend it. Thank you so much, Hanna!

I wholeheartedly recommend the exceptional talents of Hanna and Vitalii, a remarkable couple renowned for their expertise in conflict management, mediation, and emotional intelligence. Having participated in several of their workshops and collaborated closely with them, I can attest to their remarkable insights, engaging teaching style, and inspiring impact on individuals. Their ability to capture the room is exceptional, making their workshops both enriching and transformative. Every time I walk away from a session, I feel inspired and empowered to use my knowledge in my everyday life and career!

I attended a ‘Conflict Management in the Workplace’ Workshop, organized by the talented Hanna Dushkova and Vitalii Diakov. They led an exciting session that involved Chloe Nash and I from our Service Design background along with other representatives from a range of organisations and industries. They created a truly unique and safe environment that generated thought-provoking discussions, practical exercises, and honest reflection.

The training was a mixture of valuable theory and practical exercises at the training. It created a trustful environment during learning sessions. The training helped me raise my awareness and motivation to be more proactive, which helped me integrate and socialize fast. I liked communicating with my peers, exchange of the information and our experiences with other participants.

Thank you for this. I liked the cylinder of truth and also the I statements – they reminded me of some training I have done in non-violent communication. Really useful

Reflections on the Mediation Masterclass: Pathways To Agreement
Mediation is both Practice and Reflection We recently held our Mediation Masterclass: Pathways To Agreement at the Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce. It felt right to take a moment to reflect on what was shared and learnt by everyone who attended. Reflection practice is essential to learn how to improve our work and understanding of different perspectives. Discussions on what helps to engage in a difficult conversation A Dynamic and Reflective Session Participants looked at how mediation works in practice — not just from our presentation, but by experiencing it as a way to solve disagreements and difficult conversations. The day encouraged thinking about the important ground rules for conducting mediation and the benefits mediation can bring: saving time and stress, helping people understand different views, and finding solutions that work for everyone involved. One thing that really stood out was the openness in the room. People talked about what it means to work towards a resolution, including the need to be honest, really listen to others’ views, and understand how respect is the foundation of any good conversation. Instead of relying on trust between people, which can be fragile when there is disagreement or conflict, it is important to build trust in the process and create a safe space where communication moves from being defensive to finding solutions that benefit all parties. Resolving disputes in practice Gratitude and Testimonials We are thankful to all who joined, including representatives from Thorntons Law LLP, Thorntons Investment, The ESP Group, Quensh Health & Safety and HR Specialists, and Paterson Skip Hire & Recycling. Their participation reminded us all of why it is important to build workplaces and communities based on respect and understanding. Also, many thanks to the Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce for their help in organising this event, and to our brilliant team – Hanna Dushkova, Vitalii Diakov, and Manuel Sanchez Diaz – for making the day run smoothly. Very enjoyable and informative session, demonstrating the real benefits of mediation in helping resolve disputes. Mike Kemp Commercial Litigation Partner and Mediator at Thorntons Law LLP Brilliant session with so many useful takeaways.
