Christian Conciliation/Mediation
This is a process for reconciling people and resolving disputes out of court in a biblical manner. Mediation is confidential, voluntary, non-adversarial, and relatively informal. With the assistance of an impartial third party (the mediator) parties are empowered to create their own resolution, rather than have one imposed on them through litigation or arbitration. Christian Conciliation/Mediation is appropriate for a wide range of disputes and is successful in a high percentage of cases.
Conflict Coaching
In this process the Conflict Coach does not get directly involved in the reconciliation process. He/she helps the individual prepare for meeting with the other person to try and reconcile their differences privately between themselves.
