During my work based practice, I dealt with several case studies such as: conflict management, problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, pastoral care, discrimination, Equality and Diversity issues, as well as leadership and management. As mentioned by Rodney (1960); the acquisition of knowledge is empowerment which I viewed as a vehicle for professional and personal development.
I have gained knowledge and skills from case studies, which enables me to resolve conflicts between staff and employers.

I am a good mediator. I am able to negotiate and arbitrate, because I can sustain a dialectical engagement, listen without being judgemental and weigh issues on their merit. This skill facilitates conflict management and resolution. I am confident such skills would be beneficial in any aspect of conflict in an organisation.
