THE BLOG
For the Record
Strategic opinions, unpopular truths, and what actually works in conflict.
This isn’t a lifestyle blog. And it’s definitely not AI-generated content stitched together with buzzwords and vibes.
For the Record is where Susannah Margison—lawyer, mediator, conflict coach, and reformed overthinker—writes about what it means to handle conflict in real life. Not in theory. Not in a leadership retreat. But in the moment when your hands are clammy, your voice is tight, and someone’s just blindsided you in a meeting.
Expect:
Clear language for unclear situations
Scripts, strategies, and reframes that hold up under scrutiny
Sharp opinions (delivered with tact)
The occasional “oh no… I’ve definitely done that” moment
This is where clarity meets composure—with a side of dry humour and a heavy filter for nonsense. It’s also where Susannah is building her own voice—out loud, on purpose, and unapologetically.
Start where it stings. Or start where it might actually help next time.
