Private mediation

Everyone
gets heard.

For conflict at work and conflict at home. A steady person in the room, and a fair way through.

CALL 312-620-0515Tell me what is going on

When a disagreement has gone loud, or gone silent, it helps to have a steady person in the room. I do not take sides. I make sure each person can speak, and each person is listened to.

At work

Between people who still have to work together.

A manager and an employee
Two coworkers
A team that has stopped talking

Call about a workplace issue

At home

Between people who share a name or a table.

Parents and grown children
Brothers and sisters
A decision the family has to make together

Call about a family issue

What happens

1You call, and we talk about what is going on.
2I listen to each person on their own. Nobody is rushed.
3Everyone comes to one table. I keep the conversation fair.
4What you agree to is written down, in your own words.

What I do not do

I do not decide who is right. The agreement belongs to the people in the room.
I am not a judge, and I am not court-appointed. This is private mediation, and everyone takes part by choice.
I am not a lawyer, and I do not give legal advice. For that, please ask an attorney.
I do not promise how it will turn out. I do promise to be fair.

I keep what you tell me private, and I ask everyone at the table to do the same. Ask me about the limits before we begin.

About me

I am V. Denise Bloom. I practice mediation. For about forty years I worked at the side of C-level leaders in investment banking, private wealth management, and corporate finance and legal. I have sat in rooms where people disagreed and the stakes were real. I know how to keep a hard conversation calm.
