Style & Approach
A ‘student of the world’ Alnoor’s personal and professional travel has taken him to almost 50 different countries, making him especially adept at navigating cultural, ethnic, and racial differences. Alnoor aspires to help those who are uncomfortable with conflict, as he himself once was. He has since learned that conflict in itself is not bad, but that there may be challenges in how it affects us and how we respond to it. He views mediation as a safe and collaborative process that enables people to resolve their conflicts amicably with an outcome all can be happy with while maintaining or even enhancing their relationships.
