The tools you provided give me more confidence, with practice of course, that I can build mutual trust with people I find domineering. There's likely something I can do to be less threatening to them, which is something I never thought about. Thank you so much, Lisa! You empower us to create a more peaceful land.

Hello! I'm Elisabeth Fisher, and I don't like conflict.
As a former corporate attorney and mediator, I have been dealing with domineering people professionally for over 30 years. I help my clients reduce conflict at work and at home by teaching them how to stay calm and focused under stress, defuse tense situations, speak up with confidence, and disagree better.
I lead Embodied Peacemaking workshops based on the mindbody education system developed by Paul Linden. I am a certified embodiment coach and Yoga teacher (Yin, Vinyasa, Embodied Toolkit), martial artist (Black Belt in Kenpo Karate), Embodied Meditation teacher, practicing Buddhist, and ballroom dancer.
Let's create a more peaceful world together.
