Flowing River Conflict Solutions™
™
Welcome!
If you’re here, you’ve probably experienced a conflict that left you feeling uncomfortable, hurt, angry, or unsure about your relationship with the other person and where you go next.
Maybe you blow up at other people and need help engaging constructively with others.
Maybe you capitulate or avoid conflict entirely and you aren’t happy with never having your voice heard and your needs met.
Maybe you compromise every time and feel like you could be getting more out of your relationship with someone else.
Maybe you’re a people manager or project leader who just wants your people to work as a team, so you can complete a project successfully and make your stakeholders happy.
Maybe you’re a non-profit administrator who’s looking to deepen your impact, use limited resources strategically, or build a stronger relationship with board members, funders, or volunteers.
Maybe you’re part of a start up that's trying to figure out how to go from concept to fully-fledged business.
Regardless of who you are, what your default approach is to conflict, or what industry or sector you work in, I am here to help!

What People Say
Megan Moriarty, Program Manager, UC Irvine
Valerie showed expertise from the start in guiding me to unpack the conflict, identify its impact on me mentally and physically, and to look at the primary relationships involved in the conflict from multiple perspectives. Just being able to do that helped me shift my perspective away from the noise and towards a positive resolution.
Valerie shared a few vital tools to help me clarify some decisions I needed to make and craft conversational approaches that are thoughtful, clear, and solution focused. Through working with the tools in the sessions and on my own, I was able to bring some questions and requests forward in a positive manner and greatly improve my perspective on my circumstances.
Valerie demonstrates extraordinary listening skills and offers exceptional feedback and coaching. It can be scary to start this process, more so if you are going to ask someone to join you in it, but if you have a workplace-based conflict you need assistance with resolving, or even want to build better bridges with others, I can highly recommend her.

As a couple, we gained great insights and awareness through the process. The process helped me to know Maca better, to understand better how her mind functions and have more empathy when we disagree. We have similar worlds but still, there are some differences and the work we did helped me to understand this.
