I welcome suggestions for topics for articles and speeches and believe a healthy dialogue between mediators and their customers about mediation practices is critical to continuous improvement in the field.
I enjoy writing and speaking about mediation. Below are references to articles I have written and speeches or panel presentations I have given or been a part of or moderated. If you are hosting an event and are interested in considering me as a speaker, please send me an email.
