What Westbay Is

A practical provider of training and systems for conflict work

Westbay was built to serve professionals who want substance, structure, and real-world usefulness. That includes continuing education, advanced skill development, practice systems, and conflict resolution programs designed for actual application—not theory for theory’s sake.

Why Westbay Exists

Because too much training in this space is disconnected from real practice

Westbay was created around a simple idea: professionals need training that actually helps them perform better in real mediation rooms, real negotiations, and real conflict situations.

  • Less abstraction, more practical application
  • Less clutter, more structure and clarity
  • Less theory for its own sake, more real-world usefulness
  • Less generic instruction, more experience-informed guidance

The difference in approach

Westbay is not built around simply delivering credits. The larger aim is to help professionals become more capable, more confident, and more effective in the work they actually do.

That philosophy supports everything under the Westbay name—from CME and CLE programs to advanced training, specialized institutes, and conflict resolution services.

Founder

Wayne Redwood, J.D.

Founder of Westbay Mediation Group and long-time practitioner in mediation and dispute resolution.

Westbay was built around practical experience, structured thinking, and a belief that professionals deserve training they can actually use. Over the years, he has worked extensively in mediation, negotiation, and conflict resolution while also training mediators and professionals seeking stronger results in the real world.

His work is known for clarity, organization, and a practical emphasis that respects the learner’s time while delivering substance. That same approach now shapes the broader Westbay vision: not only continuing education, but systems, advanced training, and specialized conflict-resolution programs that serve professionals nationwide.

The Westbay Approach

Structure over improvisation. Clarity over complexity. Practical application over theory.

Structured Thinking

Conflict work benefits from sound systems and repeatable approaches, not guesswork. Westbay emphasizes disciplined structure where it matters most.

Clear Communication

Professionals do better when the instruction is organized, direct, and useful. Westbay values clarity in both teaching and practice.
