Pat Grigadean & Associates

My mission is to help individuals and groups enjoy more harmonious and productive relationships through clear communication and effective problem solving.

My organizational values are honesty, integrity, fairness, respect and kindness.

Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, whether it’s business or personal. Some conflicts are fairly simple and can be resolved with a clarification, an apology or an agreement to disagree. Others, especially when there are different values or problem-solving styles involved, can escalate into a major problem for all concerned. I offer a variety of services and processes designed to prevent and resolve disputes, while minimizing the stress and anxiety associated with conflict.

In addition to conflict resolution, I provide organizations and individuals with a variety of processes and tools designed to enhance communication, productivity and efficiency, reduce stress and anxiety, and create more harmonious relationships.
