As a result of attending and presenting at recent conferences, I have been encouraged to quantify the impact of my Restorative Mediations.
Uncut and anonymous feedback is so incredibly valuable. The data has provided me invaluable quantitative and qualitative feedback necessary to finetune and develop my restorative mediation model further to ensure I meet and exceed client and participant expectations in resolving workplace conflict.
Thank you to all clients and participants who completed the survey and continue to support my work!

Feedback from Clients
“Ruth has efficiently resolved a few complex staff conflicts at police stations in the region. Her approach assists staff to quickly identify the key issues causing the conflict and to take responsibility for their own behavior in the conflict. Her mediations significantly impact other staff members indirectly affected by the conflict as well.”
