Profile

Leo Hura, JD-Mediator works with clients to avoid, prevent, and resolve conflict in business and interpersonal relationships. Leo works, vacations, and lives in Hawaii. He travels to the mainland to meet client commitments  

"I found mediation ideally suited to my legal training as an attorney and my experience as a project and business team leader in a corporate career.  I enjoy conducting training and being a practicing mediator. I love technology which can be applied to my fields of practice. I am getting versed in social media."

 "My long career in corporate at Merck & Co. provided a wealth of experience in dealing with conflict and examples of conflict and resolution to use in my training sessions. I tend to view my intercesion in conflict as a request for problem solving between disputing parties. My job is to listen, identify common ground, and move parties to agreement".

Leo has mediated over one hundred and fifty cases in a variety of dispute settings. Leo loves to produce video segments to educate the public on the benefits of conflict resolution as a problem rather than as an adversarial contest. He's now expanding the training to organizations which need an innovative way of educating their personnel and partners on how to operate in a "resolution" culture. 

Leo operates an office in East Oahu.  Leo is Immediate Past President  of the Association of Conflict Resolution Hawaii Chapter.  Leo is on the Board for the Hawaii Kai Chamber of Commerce.  He is also on the Steering Committee for Project Management for the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers.
