Owner - Principal Instructor

​Ben Adkins is an experienced mediator and conflict resolution specialist. He resides in North Texas yet mediates all over the world using Zoom technology in addition to in-person sessions. Ben’s background includes mediating thousands of workplace conflicts between individuals and between groups at all levels, as well as significant experience mediating civil and family conflicts and disputes. Ben is a senior trainer with Mediation Dynamics and a certified master trainer, conflict coach, and consultant with Mediation Training Institute International. He teaches others when and how to resolve conflicts with others, negotiation tactics that work, and basic and advanced mediation skills. Ben knows conflicts are best resolved before they escalate into extended costly lawsuits or destroyed relationships. His approach is to help disputants reach agreements that preserve and enhance ongoing future interactions in the workplace, in the home or in business.
 
Workplace Conflict Management
Ben facilitates collaborative problem solving with Boards of directors, management, team members and peers, inter- and intra-departments, labor and management, EEOC complaints and conflicts between professional colleagues. In addition to mediating workplace issues and employee disputes, Ben consults with organizations to help them strategically manage and eliminate the destructive effects of unmanaged conflict. This leads to highly productive work environments free of costly grievances and complaints, low morale, or workplace lawsuits.
Examples:
Performance issues
Bullying
Harassment 
Personality clashes
Team conflicts
Grievance and lawsuit prevention
Management problems
Ben is known for his expertise in workplace conflict management, leadership development, and personal effectiveness. Since 1985 he has presented more than 2,800 workshops, seminars, keynotes, training classes and management retreats throughout the United States, Canada, the UK, and parts of Europe and Africa. Ben has provided quality training, speaking, consulting and coaching services to corporate, government and non-profit organizations as well as educational institutions and associations.
 
Conflict Management Outside of the Workplace
Conflicts occur within families and between neighbors that lead to strained relationships, dysfunctional behaviors and reduced quality of life. Through mediation and conflict coaching, Ben helps disputants discover new ways to communicate and resolve their issues so they can move forward with more fulfillment and better relationships. 
Examples:
Family disputes
Blended families, step-parent, in-law and extended family disputes​
Neighbor disputes
Healing past injustices
Preserving future relations
Divorce
Ben’s undergraduate studies were in psychology and business at the University of Houston and the University of Texas. He later served on the teaching staff of Texas Tech University Center for Professional Development, and as a workshop leader for Rockhurst University and Clemson University. Additionally, Ben was an adjunct faculty member of the National College of District Attorneys and is the recipient of the Lecturer of Merit Certificate and the prestigious Distinguished Faculty Award.
