I look forward to supporting you. Drop me a quick line here and let me know what is going on to get you started.  

To help meet the needs of the many types of day-to-day conflicts we all face, Clear Path offers what I call, “Coffee and Conflict” service. I meet with clients over a cup of coffee for an hour. I listen, analyze, organize, and coach clients to resolve their issues on their own. Alternatively, for those of us that don’t have time to get out for coffee and for long-distance clients, video conferencing options are also available. I follow up the Coffee and Conflict session with an email outlining the key issues of the conflict including my analysis and suggestions. Getting my unbiased point of view and learning tools you can use again and again is invaluable to moving through a conflict instead of letting them embitter you and ruin your relationships. Coffee and Conflict sessions are currently $140 for a single session and  $525 for a four session package.
