3 Very Good Reasons I Belong On Your "Go-To" Employment Mediator Shortlist

A Long and Proven Track Record

Since 1992, I’ve become expert at uncovering and regulating the deeper racial, cultural, personality, and hidden emotional issues that force irrational, difficult and sometimes explosive behavior. 
This allows everyone to focus on mutually beneficial resolution with a minimum of emotional and financial trauma. Less insightful mediators tend to overlook diversity concerns, or they are at a loss when forced to deal with them.

I'm Not An Attorney.
(And That's A Good Thing) 

I don't give legal advice. What I bring to the table instead is the requisite sensitivity and know-how to overcome obstructive emotions, motives, and behaviors brought on by diversity, not legal, disconnects at all levels within an organization. 
Often, I’m called upon to do far more than “stop the fighting” or “settle the case”. Here the goal is to create/restore good working relationships, maybe even establish genuine friendships. And no amount of legal bantering and posturing can ever accomplish that.

Much More Than A"One-Trick Pony"

Many mediators only have mediation in their toolbelt. So, don’t be surprised if I recommend a multi-dimensional approach to the conflict you’re managing. 
You see, many two-party disputes are representative of much larger, systemic problems. Therefore, my recommendation might entail some customize combination of mediation, fact-finding interviews, 1-on-1 coaching and/or team workshops . . . instead of a one-size-fits-all mediation.
