What Can You Do When Others Won't Go to Mediation?

You feel stuck. You’ve suggested mediation, but your co-parent, adult family member, or business partner refuses to participate. It can feel like progress is impossible, but you don’t have to wait for them to agree to take your next step.

Feig Mediation Group’s one-on-one Conflict Coaching provides a practical, alternative option for you to move forward. Unlike mediation, which involves all parties, conflict coaching focuses on empowering you. This is your dedicated opportunity to gain clarity, develop skills, and create a practical path forward, even when that means proceeding on your own.

What is Conflict Coaching? It’s a confidential, forward-looking, solutions-oriented process designed for times when you feel stuck, unheard, or alone in a dispute or an unhelpful dynamic – and working together in mediation isn’t an option. It’s about empowering you, so that you can create a more positive path forward.
