In celebration of Mediation Week starting October 19, Attorney-Mediator Kristin Rizzo joins Dr. D on MINDSET Mondays to explore workplace disputes and resolutions that range from micro-aggressions to unconscious and/or subconscious biases. Workplace cultures can either foster (non-retaliatory) or hinder (retaliatory) reporting and investigating concerns | complaints.

Kristin's brings to the table some fascinating topics... 1) Are you a Bystander or an Upstander? 2)What are the options for dispute resolution from a continuum perspective? 3) How an open mindset and communication are critical at every stage of the process to uncover underlying, sometimes hidden, contributors to conflict. 4) What are the benefits of the "mediation" approach? What else might be involved.
