Describe your company's offerings

We resolve frictions and conflicts related to your business - before they effect your quality and collaboration or paralyze your operations, in advance of the legal bills. We use mediation in new and useful ways.

Change Management, Employee Development, Human Resources, Legal, Process Consulting

Which titles make purchase decisions for your offerings?

CEO/Owner, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Other

Do you target specific types or sizes of companies? If so, please explain.

I work with all size companies, from sole-proprietorships, family businesses, and partnerships to multi-national.

Who are your power partners? (Who refers business to you? What business are they in?)

My power partners include: business and management consultants, money managers, business brokers, accountants, change management and process consultants.

What are some symptoms that a prospect might need your offering?

* Frictions in a boardroom, among partners, related to family succession, or between strategic partners.
* Crisis regarding operations or project performance.
* Frictions involving a creative team or a group of contractors on a large project with key milestones, budget, and delivery parameters.
* Tensions around changes in business objectives that effect long-term contracts - for example, with IT, manufacturing, or supply.
* Interdepartment rivalries or conflicting objectives - engineering and sales frictions, for example.
* New legal disputes, or potential disputes, that may bust your budget.

What differentiates you as a possible business partner?

There is a difference between really solving conflict and merely managing or resolving it.

I use mediation as the format for what I do. But, my strong business experience and macro understanding of conflict, in addition to my legal background, gives me a wide-range of experience and practical operating experience that lawyers who are mediators don't have.

I have turned-around many large projects that were in crisis. In addition, I have published articles regarding a new approach to conflict solutions.
