I've been acquainted with Elaine for quite some time and only recently tapped into her expertise to conduct a climate survey for my company and address the underlying issues leading to discord and low morale. Elaine swiftly pinpointed our challenges and presented both the problems and their solutions to us.

She's genuine and delightful, with a straightforward approach that ensures results. Thanks to Elaine's assistance, my company is now flourishing.

I was fortunate to be able to observe Elaine conduct a court-ordered mediation. I've been mediating since 2006 and consider myself a seasoned mediator. The parties were very, very difficult and aggressive with each other. Elaine has Herculean patience. I can't say this enough. I have never seen a mediator conduct a mediation with such skill. I was feeling very nervous just watching the discussion. Elaine is so professional and sooo patient. I am impressed. I'm so glad I was assigned to observe her.

Divorce Client

I cannot express enough gratitude towards Elaine. Her knowledge and patience were invaluable during my divorce. Rather than reacting impulsively to the events in my marriage and divorce proceedings, Elaine helped me remain composed and provided me the opportunity to carefully consider my options without pressure.

My spouse and I were able to finalize our divorce with the help of Elaine and her team. The process went much better than I had expected. 

Workplace Conflict Client

April 2024

We were experiencing conflict in our organization. Elaine conducted an organizational climate study and determined where we were experiencing problems. She provided guidance and skill building tools to our top tier and senior managers so we can have the tool to deal with crisis in the future and prevent it in the first place.

Probably the best class I've ever taken!

Divorce Client

March 2024

We chose the 1-day settlement conferencing for our divorce. Because of the conflict in my marriage, I did not want to see my ex-spouse during the session. Elaine was very accommodating and allowed us to have separate sessions. We were able to get it all done in one day.

Elaine, you are great. Your humor, approachability, and overall genuineness made the class very relatable and enjoyable. I find myself using what I learned in other situations outside of work as well. The class was great. 

Valeria Montes

Elaine was great. Very personable, and sincere in wanting to see the class do well. She shared a lot of materials as well as personal experience which was helpful in not only understanding the process but being able to conduct a mediation. I feel more confident in my skills after taking her class.

I would absolutely recommend this training to everyone. I recently praised the training in a Department Head meeting with the County Administration. Others who had taken the training echoed my remarks about how beneficial it was. Elaine did an absolutely wonderful job and I hope I have the opportunity to attend future training sessions with her.

This course has been so beneficial. I'm going to recommend that all of our supervisors take this course to prevent and manage workplace conflicts. Amazing course. I'm so glad I took the time to take this class.

Divorce Prevention Client

I came into this process fully expecting to move forward with the divorce my spouse wanted. Elaine recognized there was a possibility for reconciliation. Instead, my spouse and I were able to work out the issues that were causing problems in our marriage. Thank you Elaine, our marriage is now better than ever.

This class is not what I expected. I thought I could easily do my work while listening to the course in the background. That did not happen. 

By the end of the 1st day, Elaine had my full attention. Elaine immediately made a connection with the class. She is very engaging and charismatic about the subject matter and makes sure we understand and grasp the material. Very glad I took this course and paid attention!

L. Redmond 

Attorney

Elaine, I could have earned this certification anywhere. But THIS class was very different from any other class I've ever taken. It's not about the content. It's about your style of delivery. We could feel your heart is in the topic and you pass that passionate energy to the group. 

This is what makes Elaine and her class so unique.

This class went beyond my expectations.  Elaine was very engaging and sincere in her goal to make sure we acquired the skills we need to be successful in mediation. I'm looking forward to taking another course with Elaine.

Elaine, thank you for putting together this course. I am so glad to have the opportunity to take the course and to meet you.  You were so motivating and I can see you really care about the students and mediation as a benefit to the community.  I never expected the course to go the way it did. My co-workers and I are very grateful to have taken this course.

Elaine assisted our company by providing training on workplace conflict and mediate a current issue between management and staff. The experience was so well orchestrated, she made a difficult situation seem enjoyable.

Elaine is the best! I do not think anyone could have done a better job. Her knowledge and personal,  professional experience was inspirational and encouraging. She is a God send for any career professional and company looking to mitigate workplace conflict.

Elaine, I wanted to tell you how you how much I enjoyed this course. I was so refreshed by the knowledge I learned about the mediation process. I am hoping to use that knowledge with the surrounding community.

You were an excellent instructor. You answered every off the topic question and provided even more insight into the mediation process. I loved the role plays too.

Monday morning I was getting dressed and was wishing we still had class this week. It was fun, enlightening and purposeful. Thank you again for a life changing introduction to a new career at my age! I'm looking forward to it.

Elaine's training was more than effective, it was life changing. I would not change a thing about this course. Elaine is very personable and patient. She truly cares about the students.

Elaine is the best in the industry and her classes are outstanding. If you are seeking to gain knowledge, renew your techniques, or are seeking a mediator, then Project Mediation Pros is who you are seeking. You won't find a better mediator in the state of Texas.

This is a great program and Elaine is a superb instructor. It would be difficult to find someone who can teach as well as she does while making the course so enjoyable. I am eager to take another course offered by her in the future.

Elaine was so thorough and patient. She made sure we all felt well-prepared to start mediating. Elaine kept us engaged and made the long hours of training bearable.  Both Elaine and this class are awesome!

Thank you Elaine for assisting us through our divorce. Things could not have gone any smoother. I appreciate you allowing us time to think through our options and proposals. I wish my sister had known about your services and divorce mediation when she went through a contentious divorce. I'm telling all my friends how wonderful you made a very difficult process.

I am totally impressed with your trainings and techniques. I received my Master’s at SMU for their Disputes Resolution & Conflict Management degree. I also obtained my mediation cert through them as well. I have placed you with all my professors as top notch training. Thank you for providing this service to everyone.

I just wanted to thank you for teaching this class. I didn’t know what to expect, but you made it so enjoyable that I’d do it again!

I conducted research online for mediation classes. While I found several including one closer and slightly cheaper, I am so happy that I went with Project Mediation Pros. Elaine goes above and beyond to make sure you have the knowledge to be a successful mediator.

Thank you Elaine. I have learned so much from you and I am very excited about getting started. You are an inspiration to me. Seeing what you have done with your career as a non-attorney is very motivating. I would love to join any future seminars that you put together.
