VALUES
Symbolism is important to communicate non-verbally, and we have chosen to incorporate the acronym from House of B.A. (H.O.B.A.) to mark our values for the company as a whole.
H: Hope is for everyone, in every situation, in all that we do as a company. Whether you are in a chaotic situation at work and are needing communication tactics or training and development, to a gnarly divorce and you worry where your children sleep at night. We are here to offer possible solutions to your situation, brining hope one individual, organization, mediation and situation at a time.
O: Opportunity From humble beginnings, we personally know there is more to than meets the eye with every individual. We believe in bringing opportunity to end conflict, understand the English language with translation services with documents and literature, or even selecting a new wardrobe and showing off your new look, we bring opportunity to begin again.
B: Bravery All new things bring new challenges, and whether this is your first time in mediation, the first time reaching out for communication help, or even the first time you think of trying out a new style of clothing or re-branding, we are here to help you be bold and brave.
A: Authenticity Honesty, transparency, honor, and integrity. These are the characteristics we can promise for every interaction you have with H.O.B.A. We believe in being authentic to our business endeavors as much as we believe in having authentic, organic relationships with others. Have no fear, what you see is what you get: excellence.

I provide a range of ADR services through physical presence and virtual engagements via platforms that provide face-to-face engagement, as well as Zoom.
I specialize in mediation for:
1. Family mediation:
-Pro-se (without legal representation).
-With legal representationc.
2. Circuit Civil Mediation
3. County (Small Claims)
Mediation is a private process where a neutral third person called a mediator helps the parties discuss and try to resolve the dispute.
In mediation, the parties have the opportunity to describe the issues, discuss their interests, understandings, and feelings; provide each other with information and explore ideas for the resolution of the dispute. While courts can mandate that certain cases go to mediation, the process remains "voluntary" in that the parties are not required to come to agreement. The mediator does not have the power to make a decision for the parties, but can help the parties find a resolution that is mutually acceptable.
The only people who can resolve the dispute in mediation are the parties themselves.
There are several different ways that a mediation can proceed. Most mediations start with the parties together in a joint session. The mediator will describe how the process works, will explain the mediator’s role and will help establish ground rules and an agenda for the session. Generally, parties then make opening statements. Some mediators conduct the entire process in a joint session. However, other mediators will move to separate sessions, shuttling back and forth between the parties. If the parties reach an agreement, the mediator may help reduce the agreement to a written contract, which may be enforceable in court.
Here is where I can help. During this process, I vow to help honor the process and allow both parties to have the opportunity to put everything out on the table, leaving no stone unturned. My passion for communication and delivering the message in a creative way has led to countless resolutions with both parties leaving with a weight taken off of their shoulders. For this sole reason, I help bring you to a place where you can take your power back. You may have lost battles before, but here you can win the war.
What to Expect: Mediation
What’s important is only important if you make it important, so let’s put it in the books.
I encourage you to call and schedule a complimentary 15 minutes Consultation. During the consultation we will discuss your project, cover budgets, timelines, expectations and see if we can move froward. I want to get you back to your normal life, so if it is mediation, communication consulting, translating or image consulting, let’s begin the journey together!
If for any reason we cannot help you, rest assured we have trusted partners that we can refer you to help guide you in your journey.
Due to the nature of each service being so different, a proposal will follow our conversation, should we choose to work together. This proposal will have a schedule of time, fees and give you’re the next steps to ensure success.
We all have to work, it is a necessary evil in our life. But –that is the ONLY evil part that should be involved.
Conflict in the workplace, low customer service skills, high-turn over, lack of upward movement or even if you feel like your team needs some TLC, I am here to help! My award-winning style of communication has captivated audiences of all ages, backgrounds, levels of education and profession.
My various options for communication consulting begin with a complimentary conversation that lasts up to 30 minutes that includes initial discovery of services and expectations. Following our conversation, a comprehensive review and analysis of business begin and a face-to-face or shadow opportunity, opportunities to improve and even learning how to have difficult conversations.
The art of communication is teachable if you are willing to learn.
Entrepreneurs have my heart because they are willing to go where others have not gone before to do what they are passionate about. I have been given the gift of not only a stylish eye, but a boldness for life and fashion that makes my cup overflow with cheering others on into success.
Shawn Corey Carter, otherwise known as the wise entrepreneur, sing-writer, business man, record executive rapper and producer once said in his song, Public Announcement, “Allow me to re-introduce myself!” This one line encompasses the re-birth and grand gesture of a new life coming out from what was old into the new.
Similarly, like a water baptism symbolizes a death to the old and birth to a new, we embrace what comes next in your journey. Allow me to embrace the new version of yourself and help re-introduce you to the world looking confident, poised, professional, fashionable and still true to yourself.
With over 15 years of experience in fashion, image consulting, personal shopping, personal styling and wardrobe selection for the first impression and client facing individuals, I would be honored to show you how to make the best of the new life ahead of you!
