““Alicia is a leading employment lawyer, outstanding workplace investigator and expert mediator and conflict coach. Alicia has excellent technical skills and sound judgment, but above all, tremendous ‘EQ’ and a real ability to connect with people from all walks of life. In my view, it is this last attribute which makes her such an effective mediator and coach.”

““I met Alicia when she was engaged to facilitate a conversation between myself and another staff member. Although the process was hard and uncomfortable at times, I found that Alicia helped put me at ease, guided me and allowed me to feel safe within the situation. She was not only professional, understanding, warm, but she seemed to have a special way about her that made me calm and I felt like I could deal with the issue at hand. I’m not sure the situation would have been resolved so easily if Alicia hadn’t facilitated it. Thank you Alicia for making a hard situation easier.””
