Conflict isn’t the problem. Reactivity and avoidance are.
Release the Charge, to turn emotional friction into results.
About
I’m Ursula Taylor.
I help leaders and executive teams spot tension early, neutralize it effectively, and convert it into clarity and results. No theory. Just pragmatic tools that work in the room—blending the inner game (composure, neutrality and presence) with the outer game (framing, tempo and strategy) to make hard conversations productive and decision-ready.
After seventeen years in commercial litigation, I discovered that all disputes run on human emotion. Legal strategy matters, but if you don't address the emotional charge, tension continues and costs multiply.
I left litigation to build something rarer: a practice that blends legal expertise with mindfulness, psychology, and practical tools to help leaders efficiently de-escalate conflict, restore trust, drive results and avoid the drain and cost of disputes.
I work with executive and operations leaders who recognize the cost of sustained conflict and prioritize business outcomes, cooperation, and growth. I equip them to Release the Charge—moving from reactivity to clarity, disputes to direction, emotional charge to neutrality and conflict to solutions.
Whether you're navigating team tension, preparing for hard conversations, undertaking structure change, facing a potential litigation or protecting strategy from culture risk, I bring clarity, composure, and a sustaining path forward. Let's talk about how I can support you.
