When you are in the middle of a conflict or dispute it can be difficult to see a way out. I'm here to help you find solutions and get your business back to work.
Mediation
Mediation is a confidential consensus process that occurs between Parties in dispute. The Mediator facilitates a discussion that explores the basis of the dispute and then identifies possible options for solution. The Mediator doesn't make any decisions - you do. Mediation is a cost-effective way of staying out of Court and resolving your disputes quickly. Call to see if your dispute is suitable for mediation.
Smart Choices Consultation
If you have a conflict or a dispute, but you're not sure where to start, then a Smart Choices consultation will help you to unpack and map the basis of your issue and consider what options you might have.
A single hour long consultation will leave you with greater clarity on matters for resolution and a plan of what to do next.
Restorative Justice Practices
Restorative justice practice methods are facilitated meetings that bring together all affected individuals in a safe environment, to repair harm done by conflict or wrong-doing.
These techniques are particularly helpful in circumstances involving entrenched conflict, where maintaining respectful relationships and healing the harm done is paramount.
Preparing for Mediation
Mediation requires your active participation. Before starting the conversation with the other party, Alex will guide each party through a preparation session. This will ensure that you have all the support you need and you have clear goals for the mediation. You will get an overview of the mediation process and get the opportunity to ask questions and prepare yourself so that you can approach the mediation with confidence.
Employment Mediations
Disputes in the workplace are frequently corrosive to your business productivity. Alex brings twenty years of managing employees, restructuring, change processes and workplace conflict to your employment mediation. Understanding that these mediations are frequently both commercially-sensitive and emotionally charged, Alex will work diligently to reach a wise solution.
Online Mediation
Moving your mediation online can offer a number of benefits. It is a very convenient way to resolve a dispute and can happen from the comfort of your own home. You dont need speciali equipment, just access to a computer or tablet or even a smartphone. Using a range of virtual platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, Alex creates a virtual mediation space to support the resolution of your dispute.
