About ONE EIGHTY

TRUTH: Workplace conflict isn’t just about arguing. The more subtle and destructive behaviors are harder to spot, but just as important to address.

The most costly conflicts in organizations rarely start as arguments. They build quietly - in feedback that never gets delivered, decisions that stall, conversations that keep getting rescheduled, and teams that have stopped telling each other what's real.

By the time it's visible, it's already expensive.

ONE EIGHTY works with organizations ready to address conflict directly. Through conflict management training, mediation, and coaching, we build the skills and structures that help leaders and teams work through conflict without damaging relationships or performance.

Destructive conflict is innate. Constructive conflict is learned.

We teach that.

About NATALIE

SPEAKER | CERTIFIED MEDIATOR | CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL FACILITATOR™ | CONFLICT COACH & TRAINER

Natalie Garramone is a certified mediator, facilitator, trainer, and speaker with a background in organizational development, strategic planning, and change management. She works with corporations, nonprofits, and government agencies to help teams communicate more effectively, resolve conflict, and get unstuck when tension is holding progress back.

She holds the following certifications in mediation and facilitation: she is a Certified Mediator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, an IMI Qualified Mediator through the International Mediation Institute (October 2026) - a credential earned through a rigorous, assessment-based pathway recognized globally as the benchmark for mediator competency - and a Certified Professional Facilitator™️(CPF) through the International Association of Facilitators, a peer-reviewed, portfolio and skills-assessed credential and IAF's second-highest designation, one level below Assessor. She also holds certifications in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and yoga instruction (RYT-200), which shape how she helps people manage tension and stay emotionally regulated in high-stakes conversations.

Natalie's approach is grounded in her training as a mediator: staying objective and even-handed in rooms where the people involved are deeply invested in the outcome. She reads group dynamics quickly and moves people through difficult conversations with clarity, structure, and enough psychological safety to say what actually needs to be said. Clients describe her as conversationally agile, empathetic, and skilled at guiding complex discussions to practical outcomes.

Over the past two decades, Natalie has led development, change, and culture initiatives for companies including Lowe's, Pfizer, Honeywell, Philip Morris, Zoetis, Boehringer Ingelheim, and IPG, working with teams spanning sales, customer service, R&D, and product innovation, to name a few. She is a frequent trainer and speaker on conflict management, team dynamics, and leadership.

Natalie also coaches executives one-on-one, working toward sustainable behavior change in how they see conflict, reframe it, and use it constructively rather than avoid or manage around it. Sessions are built around the leader's real, current conflicts, so what they practice in the room is what they use the next day.

Natalie's guiding belief: strip away the titles, the buildings, and the devices, and every organization is - simply - people trying to do good work together.
