Whether at work, at home, or in the community, we run into conflicts in our relationships and we face important decisions that are difficult and about which there is disagreement.
Most of the time, we work things out. But sometimes we don’t know how to deal with a conflict. Sometimes we try to avoid it but it gets in the way. Sometimes it ignites and causes damage. Or we’re stuck and at odds when we have a important decision to make.
Getting help in these situations is taking charge of the problem, avoiding harm to the relationships and unnecessary costs to an organization. When approached in the right way, conflicts and disagreements are opportunities to improve relationships and systems. As a “third party,” I can help you or your team, group, or organization successfully communicate, overcome the problems you face, and make important decisions.
In addition to traditional face-to-face mediation, facilitation, and consulting, I offer online video inter-personal mediation and group facilitation. I am based in Eugene, Oregon but can offer my services online without any geographic limitation.
