Beyond Blame: Relationship Repair in Practice

Beyond Blame: Relationship Repair in Practicewith international thought leader James 'Fish' GillWednesday 25 November 2026, 5-8pm (Arrival 4:30pm)Venue: Workshop17 Dock Rd, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa
In this highly engaging 3 hour workshop Australia’s leading relationship repair expert, James 'Fish' Gill, will guide us in seeing every moment of conflict as a profound invitation for deeper understanding, stronger trust, greater honesty, truer connection and greater fulfilment.
A heart coach, transformational facilitator, author of How To Fall In Love With Humanity, and an international thought leader Fish’s work is grounded in a simple truth: when people learn how to witness and validate each other’s humanity, even the hardest conversations become places of openheartedness, willingness and accountability.
Fish illustrates that conflict itself isn’t the problem; the absence of skill is, that without the capacity to navigate our interpersonal tensions masterfully, our resentments naturally linger, our frustrations go underground and our capacity to trust, collaborate and thrive in teams is naturally eroded.
Under Fish's guidance, conflict isn’t something to avoid, it is something to walk towards: a powerful doorway to deeper connection in the relationships we cherish most.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
This high level training is built for those navigating personal and professional relationships. The tools apply directly to workplace conflict, leadership communication, high pressure environments and team repair, not just personal relationships.
If you find yourself getting stuck in frustrating relationships with a partner, kids, family or colleagues, or if you simply want to deepen existing relationships then this masterclass is for you.
This is also highly recommended if you are a facilitator, coach or mentor as it will expand your skillset tremendously.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?You'll be introduced to the foundations of relationship repair and the Four Truths framework, a simple yet powerful way of understanding why conflict naturally arises, what to do when it strikes, and how it can become a revolutionary opportunity for deeper connection.
Together, we'll explore how to:UNDERSTAND why conflict is a natural part of every close relationship and why it doesn't have to mean something is wrong.DISCOVER the Four Truths framework, a radically different way of making sense of conflict that moves beyond blame and opens the door to repair.BEGIN TO RECOGNISE the unmet needs and human experiences that lie beneath criticism, defensiveness and disconnection.EXPLORE what meaningful relationship repair actually looks like and why it's the skill most of us were never taught.REFLECT on your own conflict patterns and identify practical shifts you can begin making in your everyday relationships.LEAVE with a new perspective on conflict, a shared language for repair, and simple practices you can begin using immediately.
