Get to know James and Reaching for Resolve

With Reaching for Resolve, James is excited to explore, develop and deliver new and powerful approaches to values-based practice. He has a Graduate Degree in Dispute Resolution and almost 25 years of direct experience providing a wide range of conflict resolution support services in myriad contexts across Canada including governmental, private-sector, administrative, community, environmental, commercial, First Nations, workplace, and family. He is a member of MediateBC, and his profile can be found here.

More importantly his instructional techniques were very diverse such as: role playing, demonstrations, note taking and not simply lecturing, that was appreciated and easier to apply what was learned.

A highly skilled mediator… He was really good at picking up on the nuances of the problem and leading us in a productive and positive direction.

“Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others.”

We tailor to the needs and context of each client.

Rather than taking a formulaic or “one-size-fits-all” approach, Reaching for Resolve serves its diverse clientele by helping them transform the positive potential of conflict into meaningful outcomes.
