Key service areas

Employers and employees

When workplace conflicts arise, our mediation process transforms tensions into solutions, helping resolve conflict and investigations to foster a harmonious work environment. When conflict is resolved through mediation, teams can refocus their energy and attention on their work, revitalising the work environment, enhancing performance and teamwork with practical, actionable outcomes, as well as improved workplace productivity and performance.

Founders

Founder disputes are common, complex and can involve legal and interpersonal challenges with high stakes. Our experience in start-ups enables us to address founders’ challenges effectively and our seasoned mediation methodology lights the path to clarity, as opposed to traditional litigation which is costly and time consuming and can often deter potential investors.

Investors and shareholders

Shareholder, director, or investor clashes, while often a frequent occurrence, don't need to stall progress.  Negotiating an agreed solution is the optimal approach to preserve the company’s continuity, emphasising resolution over dissolution.

Boards and C-suite

Diverse perspectives can often lead to leadership disputes. Effective board leaders utilise mediation to improve communication, better understand interests and find creative solutions for constructive resolution. Conflict resolution and mediation are vital for board and management development.

The Two Minds Mediation Methodology

Our process is designed to empower you to address your challenges by facilitating discussion, exploring the conflict in depth from other perspectives, and seeking to reach a personalised solution that has considered various outcomes and consequences.

Initial exploration
We start by initiating a comprehensive discussion to understand the core issues and individuals' perspectives involved in the conflict. We analyse all perspectives closely, uncovering the underlying values, motivations, ideas, or desires that have contributed to the conflict. We help all parties understand the various viewpoints and foster understanding and empathy among all parties.
Private sessions
After the initial exploration, we meet with both parties individually in a private and confidential setting. This allows each party to speak openly, scrutinise perspectives that have been identified and discuss objectives and potential outcomes, all in a trusted space. The goal here is to assist you to generate options, ensure your comfort with particular proposals, and prepare you to negotiate.
Outline solutions and reality testing
When the parties reconvene, we facilitate dialogue to ensure solutions are proposed, discussed, scrutinised and reality tested. All perspectives and potential consequences are considered and analysed, with the goal being to agree a roadmap forward.
Next steps
Where optimal solutions are identified and an agreement is reached, we craft a clear and actionable resolution plan and put the main provisions in writing in the form of a Deed of Agreement, which all parties will sign. In circumstances where the parties don't reach an agreement, we assist the parties to determine whether it would be beneficial to convene again and continue negotiations, or explore other resolution alternatives.

What you can expect at your first inquiry

We will evaluate the details of your issue and ensure transparency and clarity by outlining the service we provide. We will do this by addressing the following:

  1. Understanding the nature of your conflict: we will get a detailed overview of your situation by listening to the nature of the issues, parties involved, and their respective viewpoints, allowing us to understand the context and complexities of the dispute.
  2. Identifying stakeholders and dynamics: this is to learn about the relationships between the parties involved and any power dynamics that may be at play. We need to understand the level of communication between the parties and whether any underlying tensions or misunderstandings exist.
  3. Outlining our role and expectations: this covers our role as a mediator, your expectations and desired end result, our process, and explain potential outcomes. This discussion will help us gauge whether our involvement aligns with your expectations and our obligations.
By addressing these points, we can assess whether mediation is the best process to resolve your conflict, outline next steps where appropriate, and begin to create a vision for your future.
