Specialty: Money Matters … also known as “Show Me the Money”

All problems throughout history – wars, conflicts, depressions, revolts, revolutions – happened because there was no money.  Yet peacebuilding activities rarely address the hard-core facts about money up front.  Ophelia’s expertise is putting money and financial prosperity on the table as the number one priority to be addressed and agreed upon before moving forward to discuss rights and responsibilities.

Ophelia advises, trains and consults on numerous topics such as

Show Me the Money! The Missing Ingredient in Peace Negotiations is direct, frank discussions about money



Money Matters in Peace Negotiations: who gets what and when?



How to transform Disagreements into Unity and Prosperity



Oil & Gas, Mining & Strategic Minerals: Short and Long-Term Goals for the country, the private sector, civil society, the community and all stakeholders 



Money Matters in Resolving Business & Community Conflicts: What is the plan for increasing prosperity to create a “Win-Win” situation



Money Matters in Creating Win-Win Peace Solutions: Identify rights, responsibilities and how to make every party accountable



Why Do We Fear Discussing Money and Prosperity? We lack sharing, caring, thinking about others and “the Big Picture” because of our Subconscious FEAR of not having enough
