Mediation Services:

How organizations resolve conflict is often a reflection of their reputation. It is vital that organizational conflict be handled quickly, efficiently, and discreetly. Mediation is a dispute-resolution method that relies on the open exchange of information, ideas, and alternatives to assist individuals in resolving their differences independent of any legal judgment or arbitration. The mediator serves as a neutral party and facilitates discussion between all parties involved. Studies show that more than 80% of all mediations end in agreement. Research also supports that more people abide by agreements that they helped to create than those that are imposed upon them.

Consulting Services:

		We assist key managers in defining and treating the root cause of the issues through employee engagement surveys, focus groups, and brainstorming sessions.

Organizations frequently experience change in attempts to maintain a competitive edge, and change often frustrates employees. Unfortunately, this frustration typically leads to internal conflict which can take a huge toll on a company’s production level and ultimately the bottom line. LifeBridge consults with senior level managers regarding existing organizational conflict and its prevention in the future. We assist key managers in defining and treating the root cause of the issues through employee engagement surveys, focus groups, and brainstorming sessions. Employees are often much more receptive to a neutral third party administering such tools as opposed to someone within the organization. LifeBridge professionals have the same level of expertise associated with a large consulting firm but with a more comfortable, approachable style.

Education is an essential component of conflict resolution strategies. LifeBridge seminars are customized for each client by including industry specific data and focusing on the relevant issues at hand. Unlike typical “canned” seminars, we conduct a thorough assessment of the core factors causing the conflict. Once these core factors are identified, a professional seminar is designed based on the needs of the client. All seminar participants walk away with useful material and resources for future use. LifeBridge is known for its dynamic, high-energy speakers and multi-media approach to each presentation. Each presenter is aware of various learning styles and is mindful to incorporate each element during a presentation (i.e. auditory, visual, and kinesthetic). Presenters also know the fine balance between engaging an audience and making them feel uncomfortable with participatory exercises.
