Our Services
I support individuals and teams in using conflict to improve connection, alignment, and results.
Business Consulting
ORGANIZATIONAL ENGAGEM ENT
Most organizations arrive at this service having already tried the standard interventions - restructures, leadership programs, communications initiatives, new performance frameworks. Some of those things helped. None of them resolved the underlying problem, because the underlying problem was relational, and those tools were not built for it.
Business consulting through the Corporate Attachment® framework begins with organizational diagnosis - mapping where relational breakdown is occurring, what attachment dynamics are driving it, and how those dynamics have embedded themselves in the culture, the leadership behaviour, and the operational rhythms of the organization. From that diagnosis, we design and deliver a structured engagement that addresses the root cause rather than the symptom.
Leadership, Mentorship, & Coaching
INDIVIDUAL ENGAGEMENT
Most leadership development starts with skills. Corporate Attachment® starts earlier - with the person. Before a leader can read their team accurately, they need to understand how their own attachment coding shapes what they perceive, how they respond, and what they inadvertently communicate to the people around them.
This is one-to-one work - developmental, direct, and grounded in the reality of the leader's actual professional context. It is not generic coaching methodology. It is an attachment- informed process that builds the self-attunement that makes everything else in leadership possible. Leaders who do this work become more responsive and less reactive. They become the kind of leader their teams can trust - not because they perform trust, but because they understand it.
Conflict Mediation
RELATIONAL REPAIR
Most workplace conflict mediation works on the surface - it addresses the incident, the words exchanged, the formal grievance. It often produces a temporary settlement. What it rarely produces is actual repair, because it does not go to the relational root of what happened.
Corporate Attachment® mediation works differently. By mapping the attachment dynamics of each party before bringing them together, we arrive at the mediation already understanding what each person actually needs — not just what they are demanding. The Workplace Relationship Agreement methodology then structures a process that moves from understanding to explicit, co-created agreement. The agreements that emerge from this process hold, because they are built on genuine relational comprehension rather than reluctant compromise.
Team Optimisation
GROUP ENGAGEMENT
Most team development programmes work on behaviour - communication styles, collaboration tools, conflict resolution protocols. These things have value. But they operate at the level of what people do, rather than what drives them to do it. When the attachment dynamics beneath a team's behaviour are unmapped, even excellent training produces temporary results.
Team optimization through Corporate Attachment® begins by mapping the relational architecture of the team - the attachment styles in the room, where they create friction and where they create strength, what the team's collective relational patterns are and how those patterns show up under pressure. From that map, we design targeted interventions that build
Speaking, Workshops & Facilitation
KEYNOTE | WORKSHOP | FACILITATION
Dr. Silva has presented the Corporate Attachment® framework to audiences across North America - at leadership conferences, organizational retreats, HR summits, and institutional events. The consistent feedback is that the content is simultaneously intellectually rigorous and immediately applicable. People leave not just having learned something, but having understood something about themselves that changes how they will work with others.
Speaking and facilitation engagements are tailored to the audience, the context, and the outcomes the organizer is seeking. A keynote for a leadership conference looks different from a half-day workshop for a senior team. What remains constant is the framework, the quality of the content, and the commitment to leaving the room in a different state than it entered.
Recruitment SOS
HIRING | RECRUITMENT
Most recruitment processes are designed to assess competence, experience, and cultural fit - the last of these typically measured through gut feel and a few behavioural questions. What they do not assess is relational fit: whether the attachment dynamics of the incoming person will create friction or strength in the specific relational landscape of the team they are joining.
Recruitment SOS brings the Corporate Attachment® lens to hiring decisions and onboarding processes - helping organizations understand not just whether a candidate can do the job, but whether the relational conditions exist for them to do it well. It is particularly valuable for senior appointments, where the cost of a relational mismatch is highest, and for teams that have recently experienced turnover driven by relational rather than performance factors.
