BUSINESS MEDIATION
If business relationships
and communication
are worthy of optimization.
With very high success rates, business mediation is an excellent method for bringing strained business and entrepreneurial relationships back on track. Furthermore, conflicts in the business and organizational environment always contain opportunities. These opportunities must be identified and utilized for the benefit of all parties involved.
Commercial and business mediation is therefore considered a contemporary form of conflict resolution in the entrepreneurial, business, employment and administrative sectors.
Based on a structured and professional business mediation, conflicts and disputes in a wide variety of situations can be resolved. Specifically, for example...
-
between entrepeneurs:
owners, shareholder pools, entrepreneurial families, majority and minority shareholders, partners of a law firm, partnership, architectural firm, clinic or group practice
-
within a company:
at C-level between the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, employers and employees, management and co-determination
-
between companies:
customers and suppliers, manufacturers and business partners, general contractors and subcontractors, competitors, cooperation partners, partners in a consortium or joint venture
Those who, as parties to a conflict, turn a negative approach into a positive one, who recognize solutions in problems, who broaden their perspective and approach difficult situations creatively - with temporary support from a mediator - can gain significantly for themselves and their own company.

In this context, the entrepreneur may wish for respect, recognition and protection of his achievements or the retention of influence.

SIBLINGS AND GENERATIONS
If connections
are grown, weighty
and at risk.
Conflicts over sibling and generational issues can arise in any family. Often, these involve fundamental challenges that are often not black and white. The intensity of these conflicts—sometimes expressed as "heated conflicts"—can certainly be attributed to the great importance of family ties, roots, and origins.
Passing on inheritance to future generations, in particular – like bequests or gifts – can sometimes be complex. If open communication is hampered on all these important issues, disputes can arise that cost indefinite amounts of time, money, and quality of life – and even make sleep at night impossible.
We certainly don't want to live in discord and separate. Almost everyone cares about being seen and recognized, being treated equally and fairly, but also being free to pursue their own desires.
In the case of advanced conflicts in sibling and generational issues, it is highly advisable to take heart and be accompanied by an experienced mediator for a reasonable period of time.
Elder mediation is considered to be peacemaking because the mediator pays particular attention to maintaining relationships.
It is important that the mediator brings what is necessary to conflicts in this very personal environment: the important tact, empathy, understanding for the interests of all sides, discretion, sufficient personal life experience and a philosophy that is oriented towards solutions and helps to look to the future.
I help you to bring the people involved to the table. Within the framework of structured mediation, all parties involved have the opportunity to explain their point of view in a calm atmosphere. Even here, the overall picture becomes clearer. In addition, the focus is not on positions and demands, but above all on the underlying personal interests and needs.
