CanMediate’s Mission, Values and Beliefs

Our mission is to help clients leverage conflicts to expose limiting beliefs, hidden blind spots, and key patterns that can lead to solving symptoms rather than the actual problem. To accomplish this, we operate from the following set of values and beliefs:

• Conflict has tremendous leverage potential when it is understood and well managed.
• Individuals and organizations have hidden blind spots and limiting beliefs that can obscure the interconnections that are influencing the current operational reality
• Individuals and groups have the capacity to resolve even very tough challenges, given the appropriate skills, supports, and processes that are well set up and well run.
• We want to build capacity within your team to create relevant, practical, achievable solutions that are workable for your organization, Our personal, professional and company integrity is one of our greatest assets
• Laughing together can help…
• This is not about us – it is about you (our client) and what your organization needs.
