Conflict Coaching and mediation are two alternative methods for resolving conflicts. While both methods aim to help parties reach a mutually agreeable solution, there are some key differences between them. Conflict Coaching is a less formal and less expensive option compared to mediation. It involves a trained coach helping individuals to better understand their conflict, identify their goals, and develop strategies for resolving the dispute. This approach is particularly effective for conflicts that are less complex and do not involve legal issues. It is important to note that Conflict Coaching is not an option for cases that are already in the legal system. Mediation, on the other hand, is a more formal process that involves a neutral third party who works with both parties to reach a settlement. Mediation is often used in legal disputes and although it can be more expensive than conflict coaching, it can also be a faster, less adversarial and less expensive process than going to court.

Mediation and conflict coaching are valuable ways to resolve conflicts. We strongly believe that everyone should have access to these services, and financial constraints should not be a barrier to utilizing them. If the cost of the process is a concern for you, please do not hesitate to reach out.

The retainer fee for mediation is $500.00 per person and conflict coaching costs $150.00 per person. You can learn more about the differences of Mediation and Conflict Coaching on this page.
