Services

Problems we help you solve

A dispute is moving toward litigation

This is the time when parties in dispute should try mediation. With a structured, neutral, and confidential process for resolving commercial and civil disputes, you can improve your communication and avoid litigation.

Your dispute is currently in litigation

Pause the fight and seek mediation to avoid the uncertainty of trial. Parties in litigation know how stressful, costly, and time consuming the process can be. It’s a zero-sum game. Mediation provides a neutral space where litigated cases can be resolved through a confidential process.

Negotiations have stalled

Now is the time for negotiation facilitation by a neutral party who can help your deal move forward. We’ll help you identify what has already been resolved, surface the issues preventing further progress, clarify interests and constraints, and evaluate possible approaches so you can come to a shared agreement.

Your leadership team is divided, or conflict is affecting your entire department

It might be time to conduct a conflict culture assessment. This methodical and careful process will uncover the patterns, pressures, and practices sustaining conflict so you can address the underlying issues and move ahead as a unified and stronger team.

Employees need a safe place to raise concerns

You may benefit from fractional ombuds support, which provides a recurring neutral resource for workplace concerns so you can explore ways of addressing them before they develop into formal complaints.

Two organizations are struggling to combine after a merger or acquisition

Conduct an organizational conflict culture assessment so you can gain a deeper understanding of your differences. That knowledge will help you unify more quickly and drive growth more effectively.

You or your organization need to apologize

There are many different types of apology, and each are built differently. Learn how to craft and deliver an effective apology and determine what form of apology is right for your situation.

Conflict is affecting your family or family business

Conduct a conflict culture assessment – because families have a culture all their own. When you better understand the perspectives of every family member and the patterns keeping you stuck in a conflict cycle, those insights can help you resolve differences and navigate conflict going forward.

You are considering whether forgiveness is possible or appropriate

Think differently about forgiveness, explore the boundaries that still may be necessary, and consider what forward movement could entail.
