Diana Maier

Below are templates to introduce me to people needing me for different skill sets: I have one for mediation, one for advice and counsel; one for investigations; one for coaching

MEDIATION
I want to introduce you to Diana Maier, a very experienced mediator of both legal and interpersonal disputes. Diana also sits on the mediation panel for the Northern District Court of California (a highly selective mediation panel.) If you go to Diana's website, https://maierlawgroup.com/workplace-mediation, you will see videos about her mediation practice, approach, and testimonials from many people who rave about Diana's ability to resolve conflict, whether in the workplace or the courtroom. In my opinion, Diana stands out because she has incredible emotional intelligence and a gift of making people feel heard. A nice benefit is that Diana also speaks Spanish (omit if not relevant), and has practiced on both the defense and plaintiff side for many years, so she is often attractive to lawyers on both sides of a dispute.

INVESTIGATIONS
I wanted to introduce you to Diana Maier, a very experienced workplace investigator. Diana and her team are uniquely positioned as effective investigators for several reasons. They are all experienced litigators who know how to effectively question witnesses about key information. They are also well trained in the essential skill of establishing rapport and trust with witnesses so that they feel heard and understood, and so that the information they provide is reliable and trustworthy. Diana herself has both plaintiff and defense side experience, making her findings less prone to claims of bias by either side if challenged in court. She also conducts investigations in Spanish.

ADVICE AND COUNSEL (problematic employees or HR advice, trainings, workplace policies; handbooks, etc.)

I wanted to introduce you to Diana Maier, a very experienced employment attorney. What makes Diana stand out as an HR attorney (besides impeccable credentials) is that neither she nor her employees simply give the most conservative advice possible to “cover” themselves. Instead, they lay out various sustainable options given a company's tolerance for risk and its culture. Diana really "gets" that handling employee issues (conducting a training; creating a handbook, etc. pick what's relevant) should be made with a macro perspective in mind, and the understanding that HR decisions send a message about overarching employer priorities.

COACHING
Executive Coaching/Personalized Sensitivity Training
I wanted to introduce you to Diana Maier, a very experienced employment lawyer and executive coach. Diana is incredibly skilled at working with employees that need to change how they are interacting in the workplace and/or better understand the legal risks that their actions carry. Diana can provide one-one coaching for a sustained period of time, if that's what you and she deem is best, or she can do more of a one-time individualized sensitivity training where a person receives feedback on how coworkers are affected by the person's conduct, the legal risk of such conduct, and most importantly, how to change. Whether coaching or training, Diana is great at reviewing the basics of both legally compliant professional conduct and leadership best practices, so an individual can move beyond simple risk-avoidance and find an ideal workplace presence.
