Values, principles and approaches that I integrate in my work
1. Dialogue: I believe in the power of dialogue as a transformative force that bridges differences, cultivates empathy, and generates innovative solutions.
2. Mediation: I provide expert mediation services, guiding parties through conflict resolution processes with impartiality, empathy, and respect for diverse perspectives. I adhere to the International Mediation Institute standards as can be seen from my profile with IMI (Annelies Claessens | International Mediation Institute (imimediation.org). Please read more about the IMI standards on the IMI website Competency Criteria of the International Mediation Institute. I have also taken the Green Pledge of the World Mediators Alliance on Climate Change to reduce the impact on the climate of each mediation I conduct.
3. Partnerships: I foster collaborative partnerships at all levels, promoting cooperation, shared goals, and collective impact to drive meaningful change.
Partnership brokers accredited by The Partnership Brokers Association, like me, stand by and operate from the following ethical commitments.
4. Courage: I encourage my clients to embrace courage, stepping outside their comfort zones, and engaging in difficult conversations that lead to personal and organizational growth.
5. Development: I am dedicated to facilitating holistic development, empowering individuals and organizations to reach their full potential through dialogue, learning, and self-reflection. I also constantly seek to develop myself further in my personal and professional life.
6. Connection: I recognize the power of human connection and the importance of building authentic relationships based on trust, empathy, and active engagement.
At Dialogue in Action, I am committed to guiding my clients on their journey toward constructive dialogue, sustainable (re)solutions, and a future defined by collaboration and understanding. Join me in transforming conflicts into opportunities, and let’s shape a world where dialogue, via action, leads to change.
