As a mediator and negotiator, I bring a unique approach to all of my dispute resolution work, which provides a professional and positive solution to each case. Through my extensive experience within this field, I have discovered that remaining person-centred and interest-driven enables both sides to move to a solution-focused mindset and achieve a win-win result.
I first came to the world of Negotiation and Mediation through working for a national organisation who required someone who could close problematic high end business deals. This work then brought me to the attention of HR and Management, where I developed a more person-focused practice. It is these skill sets which have afforded me the ability to resolve both civil, commercial and workplace conflicts.
Having been at the helm of coaching, training and consulting for employees of global organisations and national award-winning mediation organisations, I always ensure that my work will be engineered to your specific needs. I have found that this is essential when looking to establish shared goals and interests that will turn, increases the possibility of a peaceful amicable and more profitable settlement or outcome.
Vantage Mediation and Negotiation will always retain a position of neutrality within each mediation case, coaching both sides towards an empowered and open position. This approach prompts those concerned to seek clarity and realistic options, achieving mutual gain based on agreed criteria.
