Hello, I am Maritta Ivanov.

I help professionals navigate the natural defensive urges that arise in negotiations and conflicts. My approach views emotional and instinctive responses as powerful signals — transforming them into catalysts for clarity, connection, and smarter outcomes.

In doing so, I help bridge the gap between reactive patterns and intelligent responses, fostering more humane and effective interactions.

This is the right place for you if you:

  • Find yourself in conflict.

  • Are dealing with anxiety.

  • Recognize a setback in work performance or career.

  • Question your leadership skills.

  • Feel drained, exhausted, and less confident.

which affects the quality of your work, well-being and your motivation.

Drawing from over 20 years of experience in the conflict-ridden construction industry, I combine hands-on insights with cognitive-change techniques and mediation tools to help you master difficult workplace relationships, even in demanding times.
