Working with Daniela on building conflict positive organizations has transformed how our team engages conflict. We are an organization that is intentional about dialogue and incorporating shared commitments. Conflict positivity allowed us to navigate those conversations that were very emotionally charged. It also allowed us to commit to modeling the relationships we invite our guests into.
One of the most important features is having a clear process for the conversation. The role play was so helpful. This allowed us to practice imperfectly the steps and to have fun while doing it.
We learned that there is a difference between being in dialogue and using the ACCESS model to navigate conflict. And these skills can be learned with practice.
You have my highest recommendation for working with Daniela. She is a transformative facilitator and creates an environment where everyone feels able to engage the work freely. Everyone in our organization was eager to practice and use the tools.
Daniela’s workshop on Constructively Navigating Conflict in the Workplace was informative, engaging, and interactive. She’s a knowledgeable and experienced facilitator, and it shows!
I feel grateful for experiencing one of her workshops. If you’re considering hiring Daniela, I highly recommend her!
I help to create conflict-positive organizations and communities by providing a framework which equips people to engage with conflict in a proactive and collaborative way to strengthen relationships and productivity over the long term. These sessions provide practical tools and strategies to empower both leadership and staff to navigate challenging conversations constructively.
I also offer individual coaching sessions to help people navigate conflicts they are experiencing at work or home with agency and confidence.
I have designed and implemented curriculum to develop conflict resolution skills among elementary and high school youth. I also conducted Professional Development workshops with teachers.
I have experience in mediation with a focus on repairing harm and restoring relationships. My particular area of interest is intercultural conflict resolution and conflicts which are rooted in aspects of our identities.
Our community at Immigrant Women Initiative (weareiwi.com) had the pleasure of working with Daniela Cohen to lead a workshop on conflict resolution and constructively navigating workplace challenges. Daniela facilitated the workshop, which focused particularly on newcomer immigrant women who are fairly new to the Canadian landscape. As a facilitator of women-centric leadership programs, Daniela brought a wealth of knowledge and a unique approach that resonated deeply with our participants.
The workshop was designed to provide practical, actionable strategies for managing conflict in professional environments, emphasizing the challenges immigrant women face in Canada. Daniela shared valuable insights on conflict resolution and focused on fostering constructive communication, harnessing emotional intelligence, and leadership skills—empowering women to feel confident in their professional growth and integration into Canadian workplaces.
Her expertise, combined with her warm, engaging, and inclusive style, created a safe and welcoming space for women new to Canada to share their experiences and challenges. The feedback we received was very positive, with many attendees expressing how the workshop helped them with actionable tools to navigate workplace dynamics and handle difficult situations with confidence.
Daniela has a natural ability to connect and engage with the audience. Our community looks forward to working with her again in the future.
