Samantha Wittenberg

Many of us have that one person in our work or family life we perceive as “difficult”.

This can take a toll on mental health and well-being.

Sometimes Autism is a factor in these relationships.

I support you to bridge the communication gap, offering tools to understand and manage what is perceived as “difficult” behavior with deeper understanding and practical empathy.

As a mother to an Autistic daughter, I am passionate about enhancing communication and fostering stronger, more inclusive relationships.

I have a diverse background, including practicing law in South Africa and founding a mediation and communication training business, and teaching yoga and Ayurveda.

Trainings offered by Samantha Wittenberg

I offer trainings in Effective Communication for groups, either on their own or as a complement to the mediation/facilitated conversation process.

I also deliver keynote speeches on various related subjects, for events and conferences

Feedback from trainings I have offered:

” Thank you so much for your time and energy, Samantha, I am certainly celebrating the learnings from your very engaging workshop!
The incidental conversations at the end of the day were all incredibly positive and I’m sure each person was able to take away some learnings they can incorporate into their lives/work practices.”
Nicole Murphy, Preschool Field Officer in Victorian Preschool Field Officers Association

“I have gained more than just learning to communicate better. Being able to connect with the two of you made the process though difficult at times for my own vulnerability, much easier because of the vulnerability and sincerity you displayed. I am happy that we could share in this way.

I have felt the impact especially in my interactions with my fellow employees. Our first management meeting was a resounding success with clear decisions being made. I have realised that having one’s own needs fulfilled first is important and I have learned to articulate my needs so much better. This has enabled me to listen and meet the needs of those that I interact with better. I try to reflect accurately what is being shared with me but I still find myself wanting to sympathise from time to time.  

 

I think that my jackal responses have decreased but this is me marking my own exam paper! Overall I have experienced from the others who have completed the training, a level of kindness I have not experienced before and an acknowledgement of each other as human beings.”

Colleen du Preez, Financial Manager at The Hydro, Stellenbosch, South Africa
