Steven Oxley - Founder Director of Mediation

  "As an accredited, qualified mediator and a former Director of Law responsible for EMEA in a major Fortune 500 company, I learned that building trust, respect, and harmony empowers all parties to reach agreements they create, own and can therefore respect.

Whatever the situation parties find themselves in, confrontation is rarely a way forward and often leads to an unfortunate escalation to the detriment of all concerned.

As a professional mediator I believe that solutions are often hidden. By listening, understanding, probing and then identifying the fundamental needs and interests of all participants they are enabled to find agreement.

There are many types of mediation, but fundamentally I believe mediators should facilitate agreed ownership of a solution that allows parties to go forward together."

Beata Schaffer - Director of Coaching

"After 32 years business management and coaching experience I am ready to share my best practices and insights with small and medium size family-owned enterprises and private individuals.

Conflict resolution and effective problem solving at an early stage is the only way to focus our energies and build the future.

Listening and raising the right questions can help facilitate mutual understanding and explore the way forward, finding the win-win solutions. Life and business is full of conflicts and debates, but we can always focus on mutual interests and values.

During and/or after mediation takes place, sometimes additional requests arise in terms of organisational or leadership development needs.

I have 1000 hours documented coaching experience in line with the requirements of the International Coaching Federation, with different organisations, including small, family-owned businesses and big multinational companies."
