In this episode Colin interviews Anne-Marie Cade, an award winning Lawyer, Mediator, Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, Conflict Resolution Specialist, Parenting Coordinator, Speaker, and Trainer. They speak about Anne-Marie's experience as a mayor, her work as a divorce coach, and her takeaways from her international study on Parenting Coordination.

After practicing law for over 15 years, Anne-Marie realized that what she was most interested in was relationships. She decided to begin training in mediation and coaching and established her own consultancy. She now works with corporate teams and local government to help them navigate conflict effectively and turn challenging confrontations into learning conversations. She also assists families who are experiencing a life crisis like divorce to resolve their disputes peacefully. She was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2020 to conduct research internationally in 16 cities in “Best Practice in Parenting Co-ordination” with a view to informing the implementation of the practice in Australia.

She is also an NLP Master Practitioner, a certified Divorce / Conflict coach, has training in Transformative Relationship Mediation, Brain Based Conversation and Coaching Skills (The Neuroleadership Institute), training in Applied Neuroscience and Brain Health and is also a Mental Health First Aider.
