The bottom line benefits of this trusting environment, from simply agreeing on the goals for the company, cannot be over stated.

Your members are looking to you for help with the interpersonal challenges they are facing that will not only impact their futures, but that of the association's entire membership as well.

In business, conflict is an often hidden, but very high, cost - one that is hidden in salary budgets in the form of wasted time, recruiting budgets in the form of unnecessary turnover, and in the consequences of poor decisions that result from a decision-making process contaminated by power contests.

Typically mediation, training and conflict coaching services are available only to organizations large enough to have multiple levels of supervision - where the objective is to empower executives, managers, and supervisors to take the processes to their direct-reports all the way down the ladder to the shop floor.

Because we work individually with family owned companies, where the day to day business conflicts are magnified by their emotionally charged family dynamics, we have adapted tried and true programs for delivery at trade association events, allowing us to reach people who would never have had access these critical skills.

Our association presentations are based on over a decade of working closely with Dr. Daniel Dana founder of the Dana Mediation Institute - combining that experience with decades of experience as consultants to family owned businesses.

Our presentations, breakout sessions, and pre-event workshops provide business owners and managers the most cost-effective way to meet the challenges of their intensely interdependent workplace.
