Our Mission
You must define your why before you can begin with the what and the how. Our mission is to help you recognize your “why” so you can answer the what and the how in your conflict. For some, the why is a lack of communication, a misunderstanding, inadequate training, or a lack of equal opportunities. Finding the root of why the conflict is occurring will allow you to build the solid foundation of your house. From there, we can help you take steps to de-escalate and resolve the conflict and, ultimately, reconciling beyond the conflict.
“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”

Why is Dispute Resolution important?
There is conflict in every aspect of life - spouses, kids, bosses, kids, military, and neighbors. It does not matter where you are or who you are, conflict will occur. Knowing the skills associated with conflict resolution will empower you to create a peaceful environment.
What do Conflict Resolution Practitioners do and why we are so valuable?
1. What is conflict? Conflict is an escalated disagreement between 2 or more parties/groups.
2. What is conflict resolution? Conflict resolution is the process when 2 or more parties/groups reach an amicable mutually exclusive agreement.
3. Who needs a conflict resolution practitioner? EVERYONE! Conflict is everywhere from work, school, friendships, family, diplomats and other foreign leaders, and in communities.
4. Why do we need conflict resolution practitioners?
It is cheaper than litigation/court.
We can provide you with the tools you need to prevent further disputes from reaching an escalated point of conflict.
We step in during crisis situations to mitigate the conflict from the point of the conflict becoming stagnant.
We transform conflicts into positive experiences through mediating conflicts, facilitating conversations, and negotiating for the best possible outcome for all parties.
