I provide virtual and in-person conflict resolution services for businesses and individuals to build community, repair relationships, foster healthy workplaces, and avoid litigation.

Hello

My name is Katie Kolon.

I help people thrive and businesses succeed by building common ground.

We all move through multiple communities at work, with family and friends, where we live, and more. These relationships can contribute to or detract from our collective wellbeing. Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, build relationships, feel supported, and contribute.

My focus is on maintaining and strengthening relationships and communities through conflict resolution. I do this through mediation, facilitation, coaching, and training. My practice uses facilitative and transformative conflict resolution styles to help parties hear and learn from each other while discovering their own solutions to conflict.

I am a certified mediator, International Mediation Institute (IMI) qualified mediator, trainer in conflict resolution, mediation coach, and retired employment lawyer. I can provide virtual conflict resolution services anywhere, or in-person in the Chicago area.

If you're interested in learning more about how I can help, please schedule a free 30-minute consultation.

“As a peer mediator, I greatly value Katie’s wisdom and deeply admire her work ethic and the skills she has developed over the years. Having co-mediated with her, I find her inspiring, pushing me to be the best mediator I can be. Her demeanor and expertise set a powerful example, encouraging me to ensure that all parties are treated with dignity and respect. Whenever possible, I seek opportunities to work with her so that we can continuously learn from each other and exchange feedback."
