RESULTS:

The workplace is more productive, creative and effective.
Often, a quick consultation/ mediation between principles of a company can get business and profits flowing again!
Our methods include the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) featured on: NBC Dateline, 20/20, & 48 hours and in the Time Magazine, Wall St. Journal, Money Magazine, Time Magazine, the N.Y. Times & Health Magazine.
These techniques are an exceptionally effective educational format for resolving misunderstandings and conflict. They are based on 15 years of research on relationships and over 13 years of workshop experience involving thousands of people.
Employees gain tools for settling disputes without supervisors.
An appreciation of mutual understanding & compromise as a goal. A sense of partnership.
A way to 'put the brakes' on destructive arguing.
A problem solving model that emphasizes results while including everyone's input.
The same skills that work for couples can be used in business in the workplace to reduce conflicts and enhance productivity and profitability.
Mr. Sadoff also consults with organizations, groups and families in a way that conflicts can be resolved. Conflicts and arguments over a last will and testament, or business practices and contracts.
Mr. Sadoff can help your business or family with interventions over delicate matters such as alcoholism, aggressive, stressful or hostile management styles.

Marc is excellent at helping intervene when it becomes clear that someones' personality style, or conflict with others is hurting the company.

Intervention and consultation with executives having drug/alcohol or other addictions.

Marc can help families or businesses with conflict that needs to be mediated.

Some small companies or partnerships end up with big headaches because of one partner or person who has a mental health problems. Doing an intervention with these individuals is sometimes the only way that they find the motivation to changes. It has been shown in alcoholism and drug cases that the involvement of the family and friends increases the likelihood of the person eventually getting clean and sober.

The procedure for conducting an intervention for a family or for a company is that I meet with the whole group, without the target person of the intervention present. In that session, I will help the group collectively and individually gather their information and to present their thoughts, feelings and intentions in the most effective manner. There are many common mistakes that are made at this point in the planning. It helps to have experience in these matters that help the odds of success increase. This makes it harder for the target of the intervention to feel their own sense of shame or guilt that might help them make a decision to get help and to recover.
