Getting a successful outcome through Mediation

I wrote this over 20 years ago. Please accept the article with my compliments.

There's nothing in it that's mediation heresy, and it's not new - but do call me out if you think things have changed, and to what?

I got my learning from CEDR in the 1990s, then MATA workshops run by David Richbell, a larger-than-life US mediator and service provider at Resolution Resources Inc in Atlanta, USA.

Then through observation and mentoring by the late and great David Richbell, Abraham P. Ordover in Atlanta (USA), Andrew Paton, Mark Jackson-Stops, Beverly-Ann Rogers, Elizabeth Beech, and Kisane Prutton. Also a brilliant lawyer whose name escapes me… James… something or other, who introduced me to neurolinguistic programming.

These experts set me up to work with confidence across a wide range of problems, always committed to getting a settlement - and all my cases do settle. And I'm still not in the Legal 500 band of gold!

Very grateful to be inspired by Jane Gunn, Henry Minto, and Stephen Walker, who have always been generous with their time.

Thanks also to the Civil Mediation Council and its very committed and able Registered Civil Mediation Council mediators. They made me a Fellow last year, as did the CIArb!

Presently unseeded maybe, but sound and reliable and committed to getting a settlement, with over 300 successful mediations behind me.
