You can unlock Potential, Navigate Conflict, Achieve Success, and Thrive!
I’m Grace Carter and welcome to Carter Collaborative Solutions, where we see every challenge as an opportunity for you to grow, learn, and succeed. We help you navigate difficult situations and achieve your desired outcomes with clarity and confidence.
Mission and Values:
It was late in my legal career when I began to contemplate the toll of litigation on both parties and attorneys. I also noticed the failure of legal processes to address and resolve the underlying conflict that fueled the case. Moreover, my legal training left me ill-equipped to help folks resolve those often deep-seated conflicts.
As I planned my retirement, I began to study alternative strategies for conflict resolution, reconciliation, and restorative justice. My journey to mediation and coaching was fueled by a passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges with compassion and empowerment.
Witnessing the toll of conflict, I offer a more holistic approach, drawing upon my legal expertise to provide clients with the tools and support they need to thrive even in the midst of highly charged situations.
Carter Collaborative Solutions offers services rooted in a belief that every challenge presents an opportunity for growth. My mission is to empower you to unlock your potential and create a brighter future.

What are people saying:
My experience: Typically in the past, I attended networking meetings where people are looking for business, I found this group to be the opposite you have a group of people who are genuinely interested in what you have to say and offer HONEST advice, as I say to my kids, appreciate honesty even if you don’t like it. I also loved the fact that members were from around the globe, I loved becoming aware of each person’s “norm” is different, which is GREAT! Loved, loved this group of people!!!
“I wish that I had started this group 10 years ago!”
“Over the last 3½ years, I’ve had the joy of being part of a small group of Friends with faith who meet up for a group Zoom every couple of weeks from around the US, Canada & Europe.
We share life updates & current goals we’re working on. When stuck on a challenge, we’ll ask for ideas & resources from the rest of the group to help us keep moving forward.
The group is hosted by a wonderfully thoughtful friend: Grace. She’s a Coach & gifted at helping bring out the best in others by sharing resources, encouraging & challenging us to keep growing into the best version of ourselves.”
