Conflicts do not wait. Neither should you.

The first conversation is the most important one

Whether you are managing active community conflict at a mining or energy project, preparing for a high-stakes engagement, or looking for an independent mediator on an existing dispute, this is where it starts.

Request a 30-minute consultation

This is the right starting point for most inquiries: community mediation mandates on mining, oil and gas, and energy projects, advisory work, and training requests for extractive industry teams.

In half an hour we can cover what is happening, I can give you an honest read on whether and how I can help, and we can sketch what working together would look like. No pitch, no obligation, no sales process.

Every initial conversation is confidential. Nothing you tell me on that call leaves it.

Pick a time

The scheduler is provided by Calendly. Loading it applies Calendly’s own privacy policy and sets its cookies, so it stays off until you choose to open it.

Or book by email: [email protected]

Calls are available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish. If none of the times work for your time zone, use the form and I will coordinate directly.

Most of this work is a conversation before it is anything else.

Or send a message

Use this for general inquiries, press or speaking requests, academic and research inquiries, and anything that does not fit neatly into half an hour.

At least 10 characters. A few sentences is enough. Do not include anything you are not comfortable putting in an email.

What happens next

  • Every inquiry comes straight to me. There is no intake team.
  • The conversation is confidential from the first message.
  • You get a clear answer on whether there is a fit, including when there is not.
  • I reply within two business days.

If it is urgent, or if you would rather not use a form, email me at [email protected].
