About Us

The advantage of mediation is that if opposing sides are unable to reach an agreement, the negotiation process continues and remains in the control of the parties. The mediator, a neutral third party, intervenes, offering help and support to the efforts to reach an agreement. Peter’s mediation experience ranges from one-on-one interpersonal workplace disagreements to multi-party, multi-lateral, national disputes.

Often parties have their own processes for dealing with problems and differences in the workplace. Parties move forward best once a consensus is reached. Facilitation is a group process where communication and decision-making is achieved as part of a consensus building effort. Peter believes that facilitation is less intrusive or controlling, but nevertheless, a subset of mediation. Admittedly less powerful, facilitation is often a good way to lead to a resolution.

When no source of reliable information is on hand or the only information available is aligned primarily in a biased manner, a neutral third party is sometimes needed to gather and render a transcription of the facts. Peter has lengthy experience as a fact-finder, trained to conduct detailed, unbiased examinations and collect information, data or evidence and compile comprehensive reports to help shed light on difficult circumstances, problems or complex issues.
