Position or Title President, ADR Professional

Professional Biography My philosophy is that, given time, respect and support, people and groups move toward resolution. As a Native American, I understand that there are multi-generational conflicts, historical trauma and unrightable wrongs that can be amended only through forgiveness.  Change in dynamics, however small, can make a difference. In the past decade, I have provided over 4,000 hours of intervention services for government and quasi-governmental agencies, businesses and organizations, families and individuals, including: 1) multi-party facilitation for alternatives selection for highway/street improvement; 2) facilitation of large/community and working groups for impact study for multi-modal station; 3) environmental work group/organizational assessment and facilitation; 4) work group and team conflict resolution; 5) union-management conflict resolution; 6) neighborhood and commercial dispute assessment and resolution; 7) community violence impact remediation; 8) counseling and resolution in discrimination cases; 9) child-family investigation; 10) renter/landlord mediation; 11) consumer/business mediation; 12) property owner/construction mediation; 13) student/student conflict mediation and 14) neighborhood development impact remediation. I bring expertise in communications, cross-cultural and gender/gender diversity communication, diversity dynamics, discrimination theory and practice, organizational assessment of dynamics, leadership coaching, training, and public speaking. With Native American Rights Fund organized a multi-national meeting on the historical and contemporary psychological and cultural impact of boarding schools on Native people.
