For Organizations
Facilitation
Difficult meetings, brainstorming sessions to solve problems, or other group discussions can often benefit from the oversight of a neutral third party. Christine Kilby is an effective facilitator who diffuses tension with humour while focusing parties on how to move forward.
Co-Worker Dispute Resolution
Disputes between co-workers cost time and energy for the entire organization. Christine conducts mediation processes over a longer term to help employees find a way to work together on terms they can live with.
Workshops
Christine is an effective workshop facilitator and speaker. She spends time in advance to learn about your group in order to tailor workshops to your group’s specific needs. Workshops are interactive, skills-focused, and fun.
Workplace Culture Assessments
Co-worker conflict can be one aspect of broader structural or systemic challenges. Christine is a certified Workplace Fairness Analyst. Working with leadership, Christine designs a process to engage with the workforce, gather and analyze themes, and develop recommendations that work for your work environment.
Workplace Restoration
Getting back to “business as usual” is not always easy after an investigation or other conflict among co-workers. The entire workplace is affected by conflicts that seem to involve only a handful of people.
Workplace Restoration is a collaborative process of remedying the disruption and stress caused by conflict in the workplace. Despite the term “restoration”, many organizations may wish to create an environment that is an improvement over the previous status quo.
For Lawyers
Mediation of pre-litigation disputes
Not all disputes should proceed to litigation. In the context of ongoing business relationships or shareholder/co-founder dissolutions, early dispute resolution can be invaluable. Christine has broad experience with co-founder and shareholder disputes.
Preparation of clients for mediation
Not all clients are comfortable asking their lawyers the questions they have about mediation. Christine can meet with your clients to go over the process, role play, and answer questions about what to expect so that your clients are ready and able to make the best possible use of their mediation time. For many clients, this may be the closest they will ever get to a courtroom. Let us help you make it as good an experience as possible. Contact Christine to discuss your needs.
About Mediation
Mediation is an efficient, cost-effective way to resolve conflict that might otherwise proceed to a civil trial in court.
Parties meet together with the mediator to discuss the dispute, highlight issues of concern to them, and discuss the possibilities for a solution that meets their needs.
Kilby Mediation offers half-day and full-day mediations, with flexible options for time and duration. Book your mediation below or contact Christine.
It is Christine’s practice to speak with counsel to the parties in advance of a mediation as part of the preparation process.
