Hello Dayton, and the Greater Ohio community!
My name is Arch Grieve, and I’m excited to help you with you to help resolve any conflict you find yourself in where the ability to listen and communicate more effectively could have a helpful effect. I specialize in divorce mediation, but I handle all types of mediation services.
I hope you’ll reach out to me in whatever way is easiest and get in touch! I'm available at [email protected] or via phone/text at (513) 400-3538.
Below is a quick bio and introduction. I am also always available for free consultations about group-specific trainings that can be designed and tailored for your group's unique needs, as well as for team building conversations for businesses and nonprofits, or to talk with school leaders looking to implement peer meditation programs.
Whatever your needs are, I’m looking forward to learning more about your unique challenges and how we can use transformative principles to tackle them.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Bio:
Arch Magee is private practice mediator and a political science and history Lecturer II at Sinclair College in the Humanities, Modern Languages, and Government (HGML) Department. He also teaches political science classes on occasion as an adjunct faculty member of Wright State University's WSU School of Social Sciences and International Studies (SOSSIS).
Arch is a former staff member of the Dayton Mediation Center as well, where he managed multiple programs, including small claims, juvenile diversion, divorce mediation, and many more. He also managed the center’s newsletter and website and social media outlets, and he wrote and managed the Four Cities Young Leader Academy US State Department Grant in its inaugural year, enabling eighteen students and three teachers from Bosnia and Herzegovina to visit Dayton for a youth leadership program that Arch designed and managed, in collaboration and partnership with a diverse group of stakeholders.
Although Arch’s practice now focuses primarily on divorce mediation, Arch is well-versed not only in mediation, but also conflict coaching, Responding Effectively to Conflict trainings, and many other services. You can also find him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/arch-grieve-23427212.
On his personal website (linked below), you can also find two books he has written and co-authored, including “One Dude’s Guide to Being Bipolar: How to Stay The Hell Out of Grippy Socks Jail, Achieve Anyways, and Abide Always,” a book about his struggles with overcoming the challenges of living with bipolar 1 disorder. The book is directed towards individuals living with bipolar disorder themselves, as well as their friends and family and the community at large, with the goal of de-stigmatizing mental illness and educating everyone on how to best help people living with the disorder.

Arch is also a co-author of “Transformative Dialogue: Co-Creating Conversations in Communities and Organizations,” edited by Erik Cleven and Judith A. Saul, both of whom are fellows at the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation, an international think tank dedicated to the study of the transformative approach to conflict resolution. Arch is also a member of the ISCT in good standing who has been certified as a transformative mediator through that organization since 2018. His book chapter is entitled, “The Dayton Police Reform Process: Lessons From Transformative Dialogue in Dayton, Ohio," and is about Arch's experience working as a facilitator during the Dayton, Ohio - City Government's police reform process, which took place from the summer of 2020 to the spring of 2021.
