Mediation

Eddie Blight uses mediation to help people deal with conflict resolutions in the business environment, community and family dynamics. 

By using mediation the impartial mediator creates an environment where disputes and differences are dealt with in a constructive manner. It includes group and individual discussions, allowing everybody to voice their opinions. During this structured process, solutions are found for what was previously thought to be irreconcilable differences. This is achieved because the different parties obtain an insight into the opinions and needs of each other.

Online Consultations

Eddie Blight offers practical consultation solutions for sessions, regardless of distance. 

Clients who are unable to personally attend sessions can opt for what Eddie refers to as ‘Telephone Therapy’ via Skype and WhatsApp (whichever is most convenient).

Testimonials

“The coaching sessions made me realise that I take on too much responsibility and do not consider myself. The effect of this is that I was not getting my job done because I did not trust the people on the factory floor. During the group-coaching, I realised that people wanted to be responsible and I was not allowing them to be accountable. This has changed my view about how I should manage the plant because it reduces my own stress levels and I can now focus on the things that I have to do to make the factory more effective.” P Dlamini, Production Manager

“Coaching made me aware of my own issues. It is like all the answers and knowledge I have always had inside me are let out. Sometimes I rushed myself and during our coaching sessions, and Eddie gave me time to find myself and my own answers. Eddie helped me to put it into perspective and I always felt deeply understood.” V. Stiff, Artist

“What I found was that in the past I was really just concerned about myself. I thought that I was alone and I did not really mix with the rest of the team but only with a select group of people. Throughout this process of coaching, I have come to realise that there are other people who have their own problems, their own needs and their own concerns and we must respect one another. I did not believe that the project or the coaching would work, except for the company. I have changed my mind because I realise now that I was judgemental towards my fellow employees. Suddenly, after we went through the coaching it changed my views and opinions about the project because I now no longer stand alone in my beliefs.” John A, Machine Operator

“Eddie should continue this coaching. He will still help many people. For me, the coaching opened the path into my future.” M.Manunye, Production Supervisor

“I first met and worked with Eddie when he was managing communications for a division of FirstRand Bank. His insight, his ability to manage people and projects and his great humanity made him an exceptional communicator and an exceptional man. Recently, faced with significant professional challenges, I sat down with Eddie for some much-needed coaching. With his help, I was able to significantly shift my own thinking and start working towards the discovery of solutions to what I thought were insoluble problems. Personally and professionally I don’t think I know a better, more passionate and more hard-working man. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking help personally or professionally.” PRowlston, Writer
