Need Help Resolving a Dispute?
Sometimes the problem just isn’t going away.
The stakes have gotten high, and the conversation is going in circles. You’re not getting through, and you need help.
The Harmony Strategies Group is your answer. We are a team of professional neutrals and experienced mediators who can facilitate a process that is liberating, empowering, and opens up paths for lasting solutions.
Our mediations are platforms for dispute resolution that are not litigious or focused on blame or retribution.
Instead, we encourage individuals to express themselves fully and then explore options for moving ahead. The mediation process encourages mutual understanding, perspective-shifting, and productive problem-solving. We act as thought-partners and coaches to develop better communication skills, as you grow into a conversation that is impactful and productive.
By opening up healthy lines of communication and rebuilding broken relationships and loss of trust, Mediation and Facilitated Dialogue are vehicles for shifting from harm to harmony.
We help parties engage in healthy communication and productive dialogue.
During mediation and facilitated dialogue, our role is to:
- Listen deeply to the whole story
- Consider all sides and perspectives
- Process what has happened and who is affected
- Map out differences of opinion, values, or needs
- Search for areas of common understanding
- Brainstorm solutions together
- Find pathways forward that work for everyone
Mediation and Facilitated Dialogue help resolve disputes in a way that uplifts, minimizes aggression, and allows each individual to share and feel heard. After deep listening and critical analysis of the situation, the process enables parties to reach solutions that are workable and reasonable for all.

Facilitated Dialogue
As seasoned dialogue facilitators and professional neutrals, the Harmony Strategies Group team is adept at engaging parties in a process that invites open, collaborative, and exploratory conversation. Regardless of the amount of tension, stress, or even aggression that individuals may have felt, our job is to help parties clarify their needs, look for opportunities for mutual understanding, and explore possible resolutions. We often ask questions that parties had not considered, reframe the stories that we hear in a new light, and assist with considering the best path forward. Most importantly, we ensure that all voices are heard and an array of perspectives are considered, leading to solutions that are embraced by all and thus highly likely to succeed.
After a facilitated dialogue, participants typically feel more trust, more dignity, and less antipathy or ill-will about the situation and other people involved. This allows individuals to feel positive and hopeful about the solutions discovered and creates a path towards improved morale, better communication, and team productivity, moving forward.
