About Our Team
Twenty years ago John Radford and Viola Neufeld discovered their common passion for helping individuals to use the inevitable tensions of life for personal change. They’ve been working together as business partners ever since.
Transpectives is known for going beyond resolving conflict to rebuilding trust. They coach leaders to live the change they would inspire in those they serve. Vi and John work together to assess, design and facilitate processes which target critical issues to be leveraged for successful outcomes. They help clients break through entrenched relational barriers and use difference to strengthen collaboration. Though Vi and John share the same perspective on the value of conflict, they each bring a unique angle and approach, and when combined, their facilitation, coaching and training is challenging yet supportive, unsettling yet hopeful and as their clients report, often life-changing.
