About the Collaborator

Committed to One Another

I value the visible and invisible qualities that make you and I who we are.

I embrace the fact that every person brings a unique identity, perspective and experience to the dispute resolution process.

I am passionate about having a positive impact on the mental health and physical wellbeing of every client I interact with. I want the interaction to be a positive one for the client and for me.

I strive to make the practice of DE & I at the very heart of what I do and how I do it.

I treat every day as a learning day. I know that the broader the spectrum of our community and the more open we are to new experiences, the more we will learn.

Every client and team member should feel empowered, valued, appreciated and respected.

 

Implementation

I will harness diversity, equity and inclusion in the following ways:

​

By allowing control and autonomy 

I believe that more flexibility in the workplace increases productivity. I respect the privacy of others and are aware of individual needs, such as not making contact outside of working hours and permitting people to turn off visuals during video meetings. I will always be conscious of ways in which we can reduce physical and emotional burdens on people. I aim to create a culture that does not put people under unnecessary pressure.

​

Transparency

My business is completely transparent. All employees and collaborators are welcome to know every aspect of the business, especially health and safety policy procedures.

​

There is no place for unconscious bias

I strive to treat everyone with understanding and compassion. Remember that we are all experiencing different things in our lives that may impact our performance at work and in our professional capacity. 

​

I wholeheartedly embrace and respect:

Age and generation

Disability

Ethnicity and Race

Gender identity and expression and sexual orientiation

Language

Life experiences

Personality and perspectives

Individuality

Religion, beliefs and spirituality

Thinking and learning styles

Organisational functions and levels

My Pledge to the Planet

As a small business I am a supporter of and signatory to the World Mediators Alliance on Climate Change (WoMACC) Green Pledge. I have committed to minimising the environmental impact of each mediation in which I am directly or indirectly involved in, in the ways outlined in the Pledge, including avoiding unnecessary travel and using electronic technology wherever possible. I am also committed to encouraging those with whom I work with in the dispute resolution sector similarly to minimise their carbon emissions. I believe that each individual should be conscious of their own carbon footprint and the impact that they have on the planet every day.​​​​​​​
