Ms. Gwendolen Wilder served honorably for twenty-one years in the United States Air Force (USAF) as an Equal Opportunity (EO) Director, Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) Director, Education and Training Instructor, and Logistical Readiness Officer, both in the continental U.S. and abroad. While still in the USAF, Gwendolen started her own small business, The Mediation and Equal Opportunity Resolution Center (ME Resolution Center), which provided a connection for a more positive work-life balance through investigations, mediations, counseling, coaching, and training. Gwendolen's combined military experience, educational expertise, real-life experiences, and natural counseling ability enabled her to help clients identify their challenges' "root causes," while she inspired motivation and provided resourceful tools so that they could attain their emotional, physical, and/or business goals. Gwendolen successfully retired her business in 2016 in order to focus on continuing her personal self-management, traveling, and writing books centered on domestic violence. Ms. Wilder's extensive experience in education, training, counseling, contract negotiations, settlements, and the like proved beneficial not only with managing her domestic and international customers, but her personal life as well. As the CEO of the ME Resolution Center, Ms. Wilder's patience, attentiveness, and meticulousness, combined with years of training, education, and life experiences, enabled her to develop her talent of connecting with clients in such a manner that it appeared effortless. She assisted individuals in recognizing their full potential, increasing their communication skills, and settling disagreements in contracts valued over $5 million for such well known clients as Homeland Security, the United States Secret Service, and the United States Department of Agriculture. Gwendolen is also a domestic violence survivor; she knows first-hand what it's like to experience physical, financial, psychological, and emotional abuse both in a traditional and common-law marriage; combined, they lasted off and on for twenty-one years. This is why she was so devoted to spreading knowledge and providing assistance in any way possible to help not only the victims, but their friends, family members, and workplace colleagues. More importantly, she's a divorced, successful mother of a wonderful son. In her free time, when she was not writing this book, Gwendolen volunteered at a local domestic violence shelter. There, she conducted facilitations for Child Protective Service families who were separated from their children due to substance abuse and domestic violence. Gwendolen provided group counseling for teens, parents, and shelter staff. Additionally, she provided English language lessons to international business professionals, university students, and aspiring English learners. Over the years, she attainted three educational degrees: an Associates in Social Services, an Associates in Business Management, and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Behavioral Analysis, as well as various certifications from the following distinguished institutions: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), National Association of Mediation, Department of Defense, State Law Associations, and other institutions. During her twenty-five-year professional journey, Gwendolen has carried the titles of Applied Behavioral Analysis Tutoring Therapist, Rape Crisis Center Hotline Operator, Mediator, Mediation Trainer, Sexual Harassment Compliance Training Instructor, EO Counselor and Investigator, and Instructional Trainer, providing education in the aforementioned specialties.
