"We wanted to thank you for designing
such wonderfully individualized training sessions. You both did an
outstanding job making us feel comfortable enough to take risks and
open ourselves up to criticism and we felt ok about accepting ownership
for improving. All of us are excited about working together to make our
'community' a great place to work. Thank you again for providing us
with such a wonderful opportunity."

Director - University of Delaware
Mediation Trainings
"I saw some things in a new light. It
challenged my own thinking... The 'hats' are better defined as to what
role we may take. It is very important to our work... I was doubly
pleased [with the design of the training]. The preparation before with
Dudley Weeks' [book] and the follow-up with the videos gave us an
opportunity to discuss aspects [of the training]."
~ Melissa Shahan,
Director, Client Assistance Program
"The importance of understanding that
it is up to the parties to come to a resolution... not the mediator.
Prior to the training, I saw 'resolution' as the mediator's
responsibility... The role playing worked best for me. It gave me an
opportunity to see theory in practice... the quality of the training
received was outstanding!"
~ Deedra
