ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) Coaching is a one-on-one service designed to help you prepare for, navigate, or reflect on a conflict or dispute. Unlike mediation, where a neutral facilitator works with both parties, ADR coaching focuses solely on supporting you—your goals, your concerns, and your approach to the situation.

ADR coaching is for individuals involved in family, workplace, business, or community conflicts who want guidance before entering mediation, negotiation, or difficult conversations. It is also helpful for those who are unsure whether mediation is the right next step.

In mediation, the mediator remains neutral and works with all parties. In ADR coaching, I work with you individually to help you think through your options, strengthen your communication, and prepare for productive engagement. My role is to support your clarity and confidence—not to facilitate a joint resolution session.

Sessions are tailored to your needs and may include identifying your goals, understanding the dynamics of the conflict, developing communication strategies, preparing for mediation or negotiation, and exploring possible outcomes. We may also discuss how to manage emotions and approach difficult conversations effectively.
