Her communication skills help clarify the problems, assisting participants in moving forward towards a better understanding of each other.

SKILLED MEDIATOR
“Colette was exceptionally helpful with putting into words what I was sensing or feeling, and she helped me define where I was at. She had really good intuition for the feeling and atmosphere in the room, and when each party needed a pause, or a private check in. She moved us forward through the mediation process with a logical, efficient approach that didn’t rush us, with really practical steps to help us build a plan for the future, with follow up and tools to work with.”
