Sys Tools for Struggles

This session is hourly, and brings two people together to systemically probe what is going right and wrong in the relationship, what are the root causes, what are the ultimate objectives, what is the will to either fix or split, and how to achieve "systainable" outcomes that are healthy emotionally, financially, and psychologically.

This is a full mediation engagement that includes three face-to-face 2-hour sessions, each of which builds on the results of the previous session. This is the level of commitment that will typically result in either an agreement or a decision to revert to litigation. Approximately 25% of mediations take longer, and are charged at a rate of $150/hour. It includes practices such as the following:

• The "listening post", which is a uniquely-structured way to systemically understand the underlying causes of conflict and also underlying strengths of individuals and relationships
• Introduction and training in the fundamental Give-Receive transaction which underlies all human transactions, and is amplified within business, family, or group dynamics. This is a tested method to see real progress systemically in any team, group, or family.
• Game-based empathy and negotiation training to plant seeds of healthy negotiatiion practice and coping skills'
• A set of take-home tools to reinforce workshop practices in daily life and build confidence and expertise in a systemic transactional approach

This half-day consultation explores your particular financial situation, whether business or personal, and maps your situation to your objectives. The output from this session will be a customized roadmap based on systemic principles (root causes of financial issues, and feedback loops of all impacts and contingencies of outside influences). The latter part of each session will be preliminary training on any relevant financial tools, such as budgeting, bookkeeping, understanding receivables and cashflow, etc. Spreadsheets and accounting materials, if deemed helpful, will be given to the client with usage guides.
