My journey into deep listening skills is shaped by my work in restorative justice (RJ) where I have witnessed individuals examining the profound harm they have caused and experienced. My time working with/learning from survivors of crime, has informed my understanding of the complexities of how we relate to conflict.

The path to healing and resolution in human relationships requires the fostering of a supportive environment. This deep knowing reinforces my ability to guide organizations & individuals through difficult dialogues, accountability, and understanding.

At Skipper & Associates, we combine the emotional sensitivity of RJ with proven mediation methodologies to offer a unique approach to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes. Our goal is to facilitate a transformative shift in the conversation where conflict becomes pathway for collaboration and eventually, a peaceful path forward.

The Associates of our practice are well-seasoned “neutrals” who share a similar passion for meeting conflict directly and gently. These multi-disciplined practitioners are adept at meeting any challenges with empathy, compassion and care. Which enables our team to curate processes that fit the needs of our clients by creating “gain-gain” scenarios.
