Coaching
Coaching is about helping people reach their goals in a one on one, person to person setting, where the coach is a specialist in helping you design a personalized pathway and the strategies to achieve your goals.
We specialize in Interpersonal Communication and Conflict Management
Our purpose is to help individuals, teams, organizations and communities move forward in improving relationships and achieving their goals through the insertion of a third-party process specialist. Central in our approach is the recognition of that which makes us uniquely human: our bodily presence, our neuro-psychology and our need for community.
Mediation
Mediation is a non-judicial process in which a neutral mediator helps the parties to achieve a mutually acceptable solution to a conflict. Conflict Management is something that we all have to do at times. Developing the skill sets that ensure the most favorable outcomes is critical.
Facilitation
Facilitation is a creative group process in which the facilitator guides a group to designing solutions and methods to reach specific goals as defined by the client. By using proven neuro-scientific and psychological methods we create a safe environment that is optimal for creativity, learning and team building. Participants report a greater sense of belonging, inspiration, and commitment to the solutions they all helped design.
Training
Training is a process through which content expertise is delivered either in a one on one or group setting. We deliver content expertise in the areas of Health and Wellness Strategies, Communication and Relationship building, Cultural Competence/Diversity and Conflict Management.
Meet Dr. Ferrier
Raymond Ferrier has been fascinated by the relationship between humans and their social and physical environment for as long as he can remember. As with most of us, certain life events accelerated his personal need to acquire a deeper understanding of these relationships quickly. Ultimately, his pursuits in the humanities – sociology and psychology in particular- as well as bio-medicine, always uncovered one salient common denominator: communication.
Having lived and worked on three continents and educated in Europe and the US, his career has included negotiating for the release of political prisoners, examining and providing a wide range of alternative and allopathic health-and-function enhancing modalities to his patients, as well as consulting with various private and governmental organizations on workflow processes, communication, health and conflict solutions.
He is a sought-after speaker and volunteers his time to develop neighborhood dispute resolution programs and community health and wellness events. Dr. Ferrier is the originator of the Expressive Somatics Development & Coaching methodology.
