Bio

Bathabile K.S. Mthombeni, J.D., MSLOD, PCC is an ICF certified coach, organizational ombudsperson, mediator, and the founder and principal of Untangled Resolutions. She provides dynamic presentations and workshops that inspire epiphany and understanding of inclusion in practice.

She also hosts TheH8Show, a podcast that brings together people whose have contrasting beliefs to demonstrate how to connect across differences.

A cum laude graduate of Princeton University with an A.B. in sociology, Bathabile earned her law degree from Columbia University and her Masters in Leadership and Organizational Development from the Naveen Jindal School of Management at the University of Texas at Dallas. She has been mediating since 2004 and holds a PCC certification from the International Coaching Federation.

Bathabile was born under Apartheid in South Africa and has spent her life personally confronting systemic challenges that arise from power inequities and marginalization.

As a dynamic and gifted speaker, trainer, and coach she combines humor and her backgrounds in interest-based mediation, non-violent communication, inclusion and belonging, and positive psychology to create unique and transformational experiences for her audiences and private clients.

She has developed and presented numerous well-received presentations and workshops and she has been a valued panel member at conferences on negotiation, conflict management, and diversity.

Her speaking engagements have included the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation, the New York State Organization of Bursars and Business Administrators (keynote address), the New York State Bar Association, and presenting workshops at Princeton University, Columbia University, Binghamton University, John Jay College, Syracuse University, and Southwestern Law School.

Ms. Mthombeni is also human companion to her beloved pack of seven furry friends. She is a traveler, podcaster, singer/songwriter/guitarist, and a yarn crafter who loves to perform on New York City’s subway platforms, crochet, and live in a tent.

Happy Dogs Don't Bite: The Anatomy of a Dispute and the Physiology of Fear

Every dispute can be broken down into five parts. Only two can be negotiated. Human physiology plays a central role in why negotiations go wrong. Learn what to listen for to quickly resolve issues and what happens in the brain that determines when and how to negotiate.

Skilled and Effective Communication in the Digital Age

Experts say that up to 80% of communication is non-verbal and yet many people communicate primarily by email, text messaging, and social media. What are you missing? Learn how to build rapport and craft mindful electronic messages that overcome the non-verbal communication deficit.

Build Inclusive Complaint and Conflict Management Systems

What are the key drivers to maximizing belonging in your organization? How does your company nurture an inclusive culture? Is your company fully dedicated to diversity but struggling to retain minoritized employees? Why do they leave?

Experiencing an environment that is hostile to diversity (even when you don't intend it to be) significantly contributes to why minoritized people leave. Effective complaint and conflict management systems that center trauma-informed approaches to receiving complaints and managing conflict can revolutionize your organization's culture and ensure that all your valued members want to stay.

I will show you how your current systems are failing you, what's wrong with current best practices, why this is especially true for minoritized people, and the essential steps your company can take to engage your community and bring your DEIB goals from aspiration to action - with joy!
