Testimonials

Sethu is wonderful to work with and a consummate professional. I recently partnered with Sethu and her team on a round of restorative team-building exercises. Throughout our work together, she consistently displayed a level of discretion, empathy, and honesty that established immediate trust on our team and helped us to build a platform for continued team learning. I look forward to more opportunities to work together with Sethu.

Our group benefited so much from just one three-hour zoom with Sethu. She gave us practical advice we’ll use going forward, but far more important, she quickly identified our problems and their underlying causes. So many of our assumptions about each other were just wrong! We came away liking each other more and wanting to work together in more consensus-based ways. Sethu has a wonderful way of making everyone feel heard and respected. I wish she could come to all our meetings!

“We went to acquire keys to doors in our relationship that we have lost along the way. Sethu is an advanced locksmith if you will. She opens doors and walks you through with gentile wisdom and knowledgeable confident hand.The “locksmith” metaphor. You guessed it, I’m male. Men out there, Sethu’s mediation and conflict resolution works.”

“Working with Ms. Nair as a mediator helped to reduce the tension between myself and another board member at my non-profit organization. I was unexpectedly comfortable with her process to get both of us to talk candidly about each other. Ms. Nair has a gift and in my opinion has found her niche as a mediator working here in New York City.”
