EXECUTIVE BOARD
Brock Hotaling's experience in system dynamics and systems anthropology uncovers root causes of conflict during mediation and allows participants to gain additional insights into both conflict sources and optimal resolution options. His institute (coflict.org/coaching) produces programs in public policy; personal relationships; child upbringing; corporate team-building; and dysfunctions such as addiction, incarceration and abuse, that demonstrate measurable improvements in mitigating dysfunction.
My primary experience and skillset is in health care, professional negligence, personal injury, and employment law. However, I have the capacity to grasp and understand complex issues/concepts and thus have maintained a widely diverse practice.
