What people say

“Mrs. Brown’s mediation was very helpful in helping me feel more at ease. What was most helpful is that I finally felt heard and now I know how to better communicate with others.”
Jeremiah Whiteman
“I have had the privilege of attending Merry Brown’s Conflict Resolution training on two different occasions. Not only does Merry have excellent presentation skills that keep her audience engaged, but she also provides participants with valuable content and ideas to apply in their own workplace settings. Her presentations have inspired me to implement a more sustainable conflict resolution policy for my team.”
Suzanne Harper, Marketing Director at Twin Oaks Technology
“I had the privilege of attending a workshop where Merry Brown talked about workplace conflict restoration. I love how she normalized conflict at work. Then she gave me tips on how to deal with them in a fair and healthy way! Here’s the best part… not only can I use her tips at work… I can also use them in relationships with family and friends! So much good stuff!”
Mandy Hinson, Director of Development at West TN PBS
