At New York Mediation Partners, we understand that conflict is an unavoidable part of life. Businesses, professional partners, organizations and families all experience conflict at times.
While conflict may be common, effectively navigating conflict is not. When conflicts escalate to a point where solutions are not apparent, people lose their ability to communicate with and understand each other. When this happens, participants in a conflict are caught in what we call a conflict trap: forward momentum out of the conflict is no longer possible.
When this conflict trap occurs, we often turn to others to solve the problem for us. Most notably, we reach out to professional advisors - lawyers, accountants, financial planners, etc. - with an expertise in the subject matter of our dispute, to tell us how to proceed. While the assistance of professionals is useful, what is often absent is the expertise to effectively structure and facilitate a conversation in a productive and efficient manner.
Our expertise in the structuring and management of a conversation or negotiation is an essential step towards resolution. When time and thought are devoted to exploring the way a conversation or negotiation will take place, there is a direct impact on the quality of the discussion and the decisions that are made during that discussion. We provide the format for productive decision making, while honoring the subject matter expertise of our clients and their advisors.
New York Mediation Partners offers a custom-tailored approach to conflict management. We enable parties to come to their own solutions in an efficient and cost-effective manner. With our guidance and expertise in the effective management of conflict dynamics, parties are more equipped to find the solutions that work best for them, given their unique circumstances.
