Mediation provided by Los Angeles based Dynamic Team Solutions is a strategy for conflict resolution whereby participants, through the guidance of one of our experienced and reputable neutral third party mediators, arrive at solutions together in a collective and collaborative fashion. Mediation is a voluntary process, and the solutions reached are encouraged but never forced. Thus, the agreements, while not legally binding, are meaningful and lasting.

K. Martin-Dickey, HR Manager, Full Swing Simulators

“The work you did with my team was so worth it. The staff took it to heart and made real changes. Until we met with you I felt I needed to run interference. Now the team works so well together—communication is better, and the results speak for themselves. We are now where we needed to be, which is in a very good place. It’s been life-changing for our entire team.”

“Candice is a phenomenal facilitator and presenter who can make a cavernous room feel intimate. I participated in a session she led on conflict resolution, a topic in which I have substantial training and experience. Despite that, she had me – along with an entire room of senior HR leaders – rapidly taking notes. Candice shared case studies that showed how even well-intentioned behavior can sometimes lead to unproductive conflict, and it was a helpful study in nuance and empathy.

Lauren Antocci Perdue, VP of Human Resources at Shepley Bulfinch

“I have hired Candice on more than one occasion as both a Mediator and a Coach. She is one of the most intuitive people I’ve worked with and I have trusted her with some of our most confidential and sensitive business issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her in the future and consider her a trusted advisor.”

P. Costa, President, Direct Hire Associates, LLC

Resolving Workplace Conflict

Conflicts happen. Complaints are normal. But when your team members have stopped communicating and started accusing, or have reached a place where tensions interfere with teamwork or planning, conflict in the workplace can no longer be ignored. Your human capital – and the company and industry knowledge that each individual team member holds – is your company’s most valuable asset.

When tensions go unaddressed or unresolved, it sends a palpable message to those who are suffering, and even those who aren’t. It says “You don’t matter to us.” You can’t afford to let the impact of conflict destroy morale, bring unwanted turnover, or undermine the functionality of your organization. Dynamic Team Solutions offers mediation as a powerful and reliable tool for resolving and managing workplace conflict.

The experienced mediators at Dynamic Teams Solutions guide and facilitate healthy dialogue between parties in dispute.
Results include:

  • Improved trust and respect
  • Enhanced communication and conduct
  • Energies focused on strategic planning, productivity, performance
  • Sustainable improvement in interpersonal and workplace relations

Find, Fix, Fill your Leadership Gap

Even the most talented and well-meaning leaders have blind-spots. Gaps in their awareness impact teamwork, create conflict, lead to a loss of talent.

“Your session last week was really good and I am excited to read your book and apply it to my HR career.”
