BECOME A PIONEER
BY DEVELOPING YOUR CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS
“I truly believe there is another way than blaming, staying upset, or saying nothing at all. This only crystalizes bitterness and the trust is being broken.”

If you think about a lawsuit, try a civil mediation first. Not only it is cheaper, but it may save you time and energy.
Do you experience a dispute, conflict, strong disagreement with a client or collaborator ? Business mediation might be for you !

About Me
About Me
I completed my master’s degree in chemical engineering from the European School of Chemistry and Polymers in Strasbourg, France, and worked for 6 years as a chemical engineer in various petrochemical industries in Germany before becoming a Mediator in 2019. I trained in mediation theory and practice with the Institute for Mediative Communication and Diversity in Berlin, Germany, at which time I chose to serve full time as an independent consultant.
During my time as an engineer, I witnessed the impact that a lack of communication skills had on the companies, management, and employees. Motivated by this experience, I chose to focus my work as an Interpersonal Relationships and Conflict Management Specialist, teaching programs that offer organizations and individuals the opportunity to maximize their organizational and personal effectiveness by developing their conflict management and human relations skills, resulting in a more fulfilling personal, family, or professional life.
Today, I have created my own online coaching program designed to help people developing their soft skills in order to improve their conflict management and human relations skills. I am a qualified Mediator and offer general mediation services in Texas (USA). Willing to maintain the quality and accountability of the mediation profession, I am currently a TMCA Candidate for Credentialed Mediator. I am also now one of the experts for training and coaching at the High Conflict Institute. I also continue to improve my communication and leadership skills as an active member of Toastmaster International, where I have received several local accolades for my public speaking skills.
You deserve the best that a relationship can offer.
Do you feel this weight on your chest ? Do you keep thinking over and over about what you could have said or done differently ?
« I shouldn’t have said that.
– I should have said something.
– Why did I agree to this !? I really didn’t want to…
– Arg ! That makes me SO MAD when he/she does that !
– Yeah, whatever you want. Let’s just not fight again.
– I’m FINE ! Whatever !
– Don’t overreact… it’s not that a big deal ! »
You might have been used to…
… satisfy others despite your own needs; not saying a clear, firm and friendly “No”; feeling guilty when putting a boundary; avoiding conflict; feeling overwhelmed by criticism; and maybe knowing a toxic person…
It is time to speak up, step up, bold and proud of who you are.
Developing your emotional resilience and your ability to manage conflict is the best gift you can do to yourself.
OUR THOUGHTS AND OUR EMOTIONS CREATE OUR ATTITUDE.
Our attitude is everything: from our words to our actions in response to the situations.
Lead yourself in life by having the power to influence how others will treat you.
