You’re Closer Than You Think to a Calmer, Healthier Workplace
When conflict arises, you don’t need the perfect words; you need the right approach.
WHY USE THE INTEGRATIVE RESTORATIVE COACHING MODEL (IRCM)
Picture this.
A meeting just ended. Everyone is smiling. But one person walks away feeling dismissed.
No one says anything — and the tension quietly grows.
This is how most workplace conflict begins.
Not with bad intentions. But with small moments that mean different things to different people.
When those moments aren’t addressed, trust starts to slip. Conversations feel tense. People hold back. And leaders are left thinking, “I don’t know how to fix this without making it worse.”
That’s why a restorative approach matters.
It gives you a clear, human way to step in early — before misunderstandings turn into resentment or formal complaints.
It helps people feel seen, respected, and safe enough to speak honestly again.
When people feel safe, teams reconnect and progress becomes possible.
HOW THE INTEGRATIVE RESTORATIVE COACHING MODEL WORKS
Restoration doesn’t start with correcting behaviour.
It starts with listening.
Using the Integrative Restorative Coaching Model, you’ll learn how to guide conversations. One where people can say:
“This is how it affected me.”
“This is what I meant.”
“This is what I need going forward.”
No arguing.
No labels.
No pressure to agree on every detail.
Just an honest conversation.
Through restorative coaching, you’ll help people:
Understand how cultural or personal differences can shape reactions
Feel heard without needing to defend themselves
Take responsibility in a way that feels safe
Agree on how they will work together going forward
And when someone has made a mistake?
You’ll give them a way back, rather than push them aside.
