Testimonial

Thank you for the mediation, I am feeling optimistic going forward that we will be able to move on.

Although I was very nervous and upset, I wanted to say I found the first session extremely helpful and you did put me at my ease. You also helped me to focus on what I wanted to say and how I wanted the mediation meeting to flow. I think this helped immensely for the actual mediation, it did make me focus on what I wanted to achieve and how we would achieve it rather than the vitriolic he said/she said which would not necessarily move the relationship forward.

The discussion we had would not have happened in the work place, and if I had attempted it, I don’t think it would have been as focussed or productive.

Featured Case Studies

Group Conflict – Conflicts between teams

It is not uncommon for conflict to arise between different teams. This can have considerable impact on both individuals and performance. A number of approaches can be used in this sort of scenario, including neutral assessment, team facilitation and group mediation.

Conflict Coaching – Shareholder/Director dispute

Agreement could not be reached to enter into mediation in this situation and therefore coaching was an alternative support provided to one of the parties. The relationship between a majority shareholder and a shareholder/director was causing conflict. The relationship would be ok at times but disagreements would flare up from time to time and this was beginning to impact on the business.
