Why Drucker Mediation Services?
“[The] mediator was outstanding;
extremely neutral and knowledgeable” - Jyothi M.
Sally Drucker is committed to helping you understand how you deal with conflict, learn tools to constructively resolve disputes and empower you to take control of your conflict rather than be a victim of it. She works with all parties to assure that each has a voice and that underlying issues, which often are at the root of a conflict, are brought to light. Sally does not impose decisions on disputing parties, but rather encourages them to find common ground and resolve their dispute on their own terms. She encourages creative problem-solving and believes that the parties involved know best what resolution will be acceptable to them.
"Ms. Drucker did an outstanding job at allowing the [parties] to be heard in a very difficult situation" - Justin S.
Adult Family and Estate Mediation
Working
with families to resolve the many issues relating to decisions about
care of our loved ones and plans for the future disposition of an estate
requires a sensitivity to the emotional aspects of the situation, as
well as the financial complexities. Sally Drucker's background in finance
contributes to her understanding of family and business financial
matters. She recognizes that many disputes are financial in nature and
works with her clients to assure that they are well informed before
making decisions. In addition, Sally facilitates communication during
mediation respecting and acknowledging the emotions of each party and
the family dynamics that inevitably are present. She has trained in
Advanced Elder Mediation and continues studies in Estate Planning
through the American Bar Association and The Association for Conflict
Resolution's Section on Elder Decision Making and Conflict Resolution.
Divorce Mediation
Sally
understands the complexities of parenting plans and finances associated
with a dissolution of a partnership. She works to assure that her
clients create options that specifically address their individual
circumstances. She strongly believes that mediation is a more dignified,
effective and efficient process for resolving the many issues related to
divorce. She has completed Advanced Divorce Mediation training at
Northwestern University, School of Continuing Studies and Divorce
Internship with Margaret Powers, Advanced Practitioner.
Facilitation
Sally has personal experience with family offices and community program development. Over several years, Sally facilitated
communication between students, parents, athletic coaches, school
administrators and governmental agencies to establish a rowing program at a local high school.
This facilitation between multiple parties requires evaluating the needs and interests of all concerned,
highlighting common interests, and motivating the parties to
create a lasting program serving the whole community. She brings this
experience to her facilitation practice.
Conflict Coaching
Sally
believes that conflict resolution can not only solve a current conflict
but can be a transformative opportunity for the parties involved. She
offers her clients an opportunity to learn improved skills through
assessing their behavior when in conflict with the intention of turning
destructive behavior into constructive behavior. She brings conflict
coaching to her practice to empower her clients. Sally is certified to
administer a conflict assessment instrument known as the Conflict
Dynamics Profile which highlights behavioral patterns and how those
patterns can be reinforced or corrected, resulting in a more confident
and willing approach to resolving conflicts.
