Grace by BBT™
Training, Education & Professional Affiliations
Effective conflict resolution requires more than knowing how to facilitate a conversation. It requires an understanding of people, organizations, communication, education, business operations, leadership, and the systems in which conflict occurs.
GRACE by BBT™ brings a multidisciplinary foundation to every engagement, combining advanced education, professional training, and specialized conflict-resolution experience.
Mediation & Conflict-Resolution Training
GRACE by BBT™ is grounded in extensive mediation and conflict-resolution training designed to support families, individuals, businesses, workplaces, schools, and communities.
Training includes areas such as:
Basic Mediation
Divorce & Family Mediation
Advanced Matrimonial Mediation
Domestic Violence Screening and Awareness
Mediation Ethics
Restorative Practices
Workplace and Organizational Conflict Resolution
Family and Co-Parenting Conflict
Educational and School-Based Conflict
This multidisciplinary preparation allows GRACE to approach conflict with both structure and context—understanding not only what is being disputed, but how communication, relationships, systems, expectations, and decision-making affect the conflict.
Why This Matters to Our Clients
When you work with GRACE, you are not simply hiring someone to sit between two people and manage a conversation.
You are working with a conflict-resolution professional whose background spans business, education, human resources, entrepreneurship, mediation, and restorative practices.
That means we can better understand the environment surrounding the conflict—whether the issue involves a family transition, workplace relationship, school meeting, leadership team, business partnership, or community dispute.
Our approach reflects the GRACE principles of Guidance, Resilience, Alignment, Clarity, and Empowerment.
