Gay Pavelka
Facilitator, Canterbury
Gay Pavelka has mediated disputes in a wide range of fields since 1984 and facilitated or mediated public issues and environmental conflicts since 1990. Training people in negotiation skills, facilitation and conflict management is a core area of work.
Gay is now limiting her third party conflict resolution work and focusing on supporting others to practise constructive interventions. Both businesses and public organisations are choosing to use her experience to help their managers and staff constructively prevent and overcome disputes.
Gay has retired from the Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of New Zealand though continues to seek effective ways that support people finding the best in each other’s thinking and sound decision-making.
