Solution Driven Mediation with Heart
"Dee Knapp's mediation abilities worked wonders for us. We started with a need to resolve an internal conflict but what we received was much deeper. Dee's fast work finding common ground among the parties rippled out to a more transparent and thoughtful culture shift which created better projects and happier customers. I heartily recommend Accord & Collaboration. Dee Knapp is fast, efficient, and connects on an emotional level to bring the parties to resolution."

“Dee brings a lovely combination of intelligence and compassion to all of her work.”
-- Laura Pierson, Softek, Inc. |
"My experience with Dee as a mediator was very favorable. She knows how to read a room, develop trust, and skillfully cut through to what both parties can live with. She has a knack for understanding when to push and when to slow down. I recommend her mediation services, particularly in those cases involving difficult personalities, high emotions, and expectations that need to be aligned gracefully."
