Helping Businesses Get Back on Track

When businesses are faced with the predicament of difficult and sometimes debilitating disputes, Prentice Mediation offers a variety of options, designed to meet your needs. If mediation is the appropriate option, our mediators will guide you through the mediation process by helping the parties articulate and clarify their interests and goals, acknowledge their differences, and work together to create a mutually agreeable solution. Through this process businesses and organizations find that damaged relationships are renewed and the business of the organization is back on track.

Helping to Create a More Peaceful and Cohesive Workplace

Prentice Mediation offers other services that can reduce workplace conflict. These include: Conflict Coaching, Facilitation and Conflict Resolution Workshops.

Facilitation

Prentice Mediation offers facilitation to organizations that need to address complex problems or define goals as a group. In such situations, a facilitator can help a group communicate more productively and work together more effectively. The facilitator does not make decisions or contribute to the substance of the discussion, but leads the group process and helps to articulate the thinking of the participants.

Conflict Resolution Workshops

Our experienced trainers offer conflict resolution workshops – a flexible and effective method for fostering learning, development, and communication in any organization. The workshops are founded on the principles of adult learning and are highly experiential and interactive. They can be tailored to specific environments and situations, and can cover any topic related to dispute resolution.

Specifically, we can teach communication skills, interest-based problem solving, strategies for engaging in difficult conversations, managing workplace conflict, stress reduction, as well as basic conflict resolution skills. We prefer using flip-charts with colored markers as we find this “low tech” approach encourages the participants to be more creative and dynamic. Our conflict resolution workshops can last anywhere from two hours to several days. Learn more what others are saying about our workshops at http://www.mediatorseattle.com/workshop-testimonials/
