The resolution revolution

“The Practical Mediation Skills course was so full of new and really useful information for me; this has given me a lot of confidence in how to approach conflict, especially highlighting phrases to use and to avoid to ensure my own languages can support and diffuse the situation. I enjoyed the open discussions most because it was really interesting to hear different scenarios and examples, and how they relate to my own. Overall, the course was very interactive which is my preferred way of learning.”

“Practical Mediation Skills is an excellent course facilitated by a highly experienced mediation practitioner, would thoroughly recommend.”

“The HR as Coach and Mediator course was a 2-day programme supported by useful resources and insightful information from the trainer. Group sessions allowed for open discussion and debate about the topics covered.”

“Essentials of Mediation is a great course delivered in a different way that keeps you engaged and involved at all times.”

“For me, the mediation workshop provided a round peg to the round hole I had!”

“The Practical Mediation Skills course was packed full of information, useful tips and guidance on how to start mediation sessions in the workplace. Fantastic training and support. Well worth it.”

“I have had the best experience with The Mediation Company, and I will be recommending TMC to colleagues interested in mediation.”

“This is a tough and intensive course, but thoroughly rewarding. It introduced good, solid frameworks and formats to adopt when conducting mediation at work. Terry was a very skilled and informative trainer, and the other facilitators who joined him were very supportive and gave some great ideas and feedback which helped my understanding and confidence grow.”

“Excellent course with some great skills and tools to perform in my HR role day to day and manage effective mediation. Thank you to the trainer for a really positive learning experience and for supplying me with a great kit bag!”

“TMC provide excellent, in-depth and practical mediation training. Highly recommend.”

“An educational course delivered in an entertaining and engaging manner, would thoroughly recommend if you are considering mediation training.”

“TMC were great from start to finish and the knowledge of the trainer/s is next to none. If you want to have a sound understanding of mediation in a short period of time then TMC will meet your expectations!”

“The mediation training that was delivered by TMC was enjoyed by all delegates on the course, we all felt that we had learnt a new skill that we could not only use to benefit the organisation but one that we could take away into our personal and professional lives. The trainer Bola was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Would strongly recommend this course.”

“Managers tell me it’s definitely a worthwhile thing to do. As they trust the process and see what can come out of it, more and more are saying ‘What about mediation?’ A lot of the principles of mediation are about common sense and disagreements in the workplace often start out as simple misunderstanding.”

“After looking at several companies I attended one of TMC’s taster sessions. Following that I booked to attend the full course. The service overall was outstanding, and the professionalism of the trainers was outstanding. I still use the supporting material today as a guide. Since I became trained my Trust has now invested in three further Workplace Mediators and we have just completed an 18-month report on the cases we have had referred. We also meet monthly for a debriefing session to discuss cases. We are in the process of reviewing our Grievance Policy and Mediation is already listed as an early intervention before moving to a full-blown investigation. To be completely honest I have always found my interactions with TMC very positive. I feel that I can approach the team at any time for advice and linking into the Webinars is always a good reminder of why we take the steps to resolve issues at the lowest possible level.”

“The Mediation Company has a reputation exceeding other organisations. TMC provided the specialist skills for the Mediation Course ensuring that the small groups allowed the focus to work through the mediation approach and style. The course was extremely effective as the practical element I was able to take away and use the skills when mediating at work.  I was able to share my skills and knowledge with managers within the organisation and use the skills effectively. TMC helped by bringing benefits into our organisation by enhancing the need for mediation before taking the formal route of capability. I will always recommend TMC to others due to the personable training that was delivered and the effective approach.”

“Mediation is an excellent and sustainable form of conflict resolution. The course was intense, educational, well-structured and most of all fun. I particularly liked the mixture of different learning styles that was presented by both trainers and I most certainly feel able to start mediating straight away!”

“David and his team were superb to work with in every way, generous with their time, inspiring and motivating… they delivered fantastic training and worked to engage staff at all levels as experts in mediation and conflict management. David was both empathic and intuitive, he made it easy to work with and he was very supportive to me as a client. In terms of customer care, The Mediation Company is an outstanding group and made things easy.”

“The Practical Mediation Skills course was brilliant – a great journey through mediation and understanding the process. The models help to frame and are really clear on the purpose of the process. An excellent and insightful course. I understand the process and best practice fully. I would highly recommend!”

“The mediation training that The Mediation Company delivered was first class – engaging, thought provoking and highly professional. David’s collaborative, future focused and solution focused approach to conflict resolution really resonated with me and my team and aligns neatly with our brand values and people strategy.”

“Great organisation and great people passionate about mediation and resolution. We have worked with The Mediation Company for 5 years and have recommended their mediation and training services to many.”

“Mediation training is a must for all HR professionals who deal with conflict – definitely added value!”

“Fantastic course that was accessible online and facilitated very well. It has provided me with so many skills that I can use day to day as well as in a full mediation situation. It has helped me become much more comfortable in tackling workplace conflicts than I have ever been. Thank you!”

“This course has been both hard work and immensely enjoyable, and has made me feel much more confident to use mediation in a workplace setting.”

“The Mediation Company has been used several times by DWP over the years, we’ve received very positive feedback from our mediators from every course that’s been run. We have a great relationship, TMC has fantastic offers/networking events and I hope we will continue to see more of this. The training that TMC delivered was extremely effective and engaging. Even those trained by TMC from other government departments have had nothing but good things to say. TMC benefited us by giving us the ability for our organisation to offer an outstanding mediation service which is continuing to grow. If was up to me we’d choose TMC every time, but I understand we have internal processes to follow. I look forward to us working together in future, hopefully not just the training of new mediators, but other events too.”
