Mediation Business Summit – free demo teleseminar and Q & A

by Amanda on July 23, 2010

In September I am co-hosting the Mediation Business Summit with Tammy Lenski . We are really looking forward to it. We have some great small business coaches and consultants lined up to help conflict resolution professionals take their business to the next level.

I'm not very technical...

Since we announced the telesummit we have had a lot of questions about how it will work over the three days and some questions about using the teleseminar format. So we have decided to run a free demo and Q&A session on Wednesday 4th August where you can try it out and ask questions about the event.

Tammy and I think it will be a great opportunity to connect with anyone attending and anyone thinking about attending.

So head over to the Mediation Business Summit site to register for the free teleseminar.

The hypocrisy of the “hate BP tirade”

June 16, 2010

I am as devastated by and as concerned about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as even the “greenest of the green”. I am equally disturbed by the relentless hate machine that has gathered pace. It is as if the reality of the disaster has been subsumed in a global fixation of blame [...]

The nature of isolation as a solopreneur

June 12, 2010

In the latest episode of Cafe Mediate, Tammy Lenski, Jeff Thompson and I discuss the nature of isolation in our practice of mediation and dispute resolution. It is apparent from the laughter we share and the descriptions of “isolation” that any isolation we experience is more solitude as part of independence than loneliness.  A solitude [...]

Effective listening with a talking stick

June 11, 2010

I learned the power of a talking stick many years ago. It was one of the most important insights into good conversation I ever had. I have used one in mediations and I would like to use one more often – simply because it works every time. I know my colleague Alan Limbury in Australia [...]

The challenge for ADR professionals is the business of ADR

June 2, 2010

The challenge for many ADR professionals is that offering your services is a business. The assumption for many is that if I hang out a shingle, they will come….NOT. The advice is to get real clear about who your target audience is, and that is NOT everyone, and what you are specifically offering. Then think [...]

The BA dispute and mediation – get on with it!

May 21, 2010

Today was a good day for mediation in the UK. Today was not a good day for BA customers especially those with travel plans from Heathrow to a European destination next Friday. I am one of them. The Court of Appeal decision handed down today may have been a bit of a surprise for some [...]

Conflict resolution is also …

May 20, 2010

… one of the hidden powers of humanity – if you can gather a room full of people who WANT to make a breakthrough, have open minds and hearts, and, provide the right catalysts to stir up all that desire and create an atmosphere of trust by the power of their own passion, you can [...]
