* Provide expertise to move the parties toward workable solutions.
* Provide in-depth knowledge of human interactions, conflict styles, negotiations, finding workable solutions, de-esculation techniques, emotional responses, and the impact of lived experiences on conflict resolution.
* Mindful of the different ways power dynamics, social identities, and communication styles come up in conflicts.
* Draw on academic research, legislation, regulations, case law and other relevant materials to support recommendations and propose conflict resolution options.
