ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ken Chalmers spent more than twenty years as a commercial litigator before moving into executive and consulting roles. For the past thirteen years, he has taught conflict resolution, negotiation, and business law at the college and university level.  He draws on all three roles in this book: the adversarial instincts of a litigator, the organizational realities of an executive, and the accumulated classroom learning of a practitioner-educator who has been testing these ideas with working professionals.

 

He has spent most of his adult life living and working in Toronto and now divides his time between the city and a cottage north of the city, where he hosts a large extended family, including a growing number of grandchildren, all of whom have strong opinions about everything. Conflict Competency is his first book.
