Emily
Skinner
East Hanover, New Jersey
Emily Skinner is an experienced teacher, trainer, and consultant with experience in process and organizational development, employee coaching, leadership development, teaching and training, program management, and project design and development.

She holds a B.A. in Modern Languages with a focus in Spanish and Portuguese from Rutgers University, an M.S. in Conflict Resolution and Analysis from Nova Southeastern University and a Ph.D. in Conflict Resolution and Analysis. Her experience includes consulting, training, and conflict resolution coaching for private, non- profit, government, and higher education institutions. She specializes in designing training and intervention methods to connect the audience with theory and practice. She has worked abroad developing social programs for women and children in South America and is committed to developing and transforming the social sciences and the conflict resolution field. My doctoral research in alternative dispute resolution focused on taking an introspective lens on the field of conflict resolution with intent to lessen the gap between the high social need for conflict resolution services and overt low social demand.

My work in Peru with Otra Cosa Network provided me with employee relation experience in addressing all levels of inter-workplace conflict. I coached individual international volunteers dealing with internal conflicts, served as a mediator between volunteer and local project management conflicts, and served as a liaison. My role functioned to mitigate, manage, and address all facets of the relationship with the volunteers and the organization. I served as the Lead Investigator designing, implementing, and analyzing community data from over 100 homes.

My work at Neil Katz and Associates has provided me in experience in process consulting, which involves evaluating current practices and designing and the development system transformation and changes. Additionally, I have worked with addressing workplace conflict with clients as a means of addressing workplace culture and to streamline how companies address grievances in a productive and healthy manner. I am a certified mediator that has served as a neutral third party to support parties in conflict to become the architects of their own solution.
