Welcome

Welcome to MMDorn, where we believe that effective communication is the primary tool for achieving goals and attaining positive outcomes. 

We consult to and coach organizations, teams, partnerships and individuals, and we are passionate about fostering personal and professional well-being. 

I’m Marguerite, and I started this practice after a long career in law and conflict resolution. As an attorney and peacebuilder, I worked on conflicts ranging from civil war to family spats across kitchen tables.

And I’ve come to three conclusions. 

First, while every life will be touched by some conflict, not every life will be impacted negatively. In fact, conflict can be a useful mechanism for transforming relationships and creating healthy transparency. 

Second, each of us can possess the tools necessary to manage conflict. Whether disputes center on politics, sports, identity, the allocation of resources – you name it – the essential ingredient to management lies in effective communication. 

Third, effective communication can be learned. 

Our goal is to bring enhanced productivity to organizations and greater harmony to families and partnerships by teaching and training the skills of goal clarification, strategy mapping, respectful dialogue, negotiation and active listening. We provide one-on-one coaching, team training, and the facilitation of enhanced interpersonal communication.
