25.01.2022 If you are experiencing conflict with your kids, I highly recommend this book by my friend and fellow homeschooler, Freya Dawson. Get in quick and grab a copy - it will make a great difference in your life!

25.01.2022 One of my mediation venues is the Campbelltown Catholic Club. Here's a peek at what the room looks like when set up for a mediation :D

23.01.2022 Maintaining a sense of humour is often the most essential element in the resolution of conflict! Here's a brilliant example :D (Although note that Coles also empathised with the customer's problem and offered a way to make things right - all without admitting any blame.) http://www.triplem.com.au//coles-great-reply-to-bloke-who/

19.01.2022 This article does a great job of explaining how mediation's solution focused forward thinking approach can shift even stubborn blame mindsets... http://www.mediationresolves.com/60-second-updates/752016

18.01.2022 Mindfulness and Skillful Communication... two power tools to deal with any conflict situation!

18.01.2022 Some people feel that court-ordered mediation takes away the voluntary aspect of mediation - that you can't just order people to put down their guns and talk about the problem. As this story from America shows, sometimes that is the case: https://mediatbankry.com//mandatory-mediation-a-remedy-fo/ What the judge gave the two organisations in this matter was a valuable opportunity to choose to focus on what they really wanted out of the situation and actually create something... new for the good of all. Instead, they chose to focus on their positions and continue the argument. Not knowing all the facts of the matter, I cannot comment on whether they had good reasons for doing so, but I can urge you, if you have an opportunity to mediate a conflict, see it as a gift - a chance to create a productive working alliance out of a painful, expensive and time-consuming argument that does nothing for anyone.

18.01.2022 Heading into a mediation or involved in a difficult conflict situation? These four tips will help you navigate the emotional minefield! "Here's what brain research says will make you happy: Ask "What am I grateful for?" No answers? Doesn't matter. Just searching helps.... Label those negative emotions. Give it a name and your brain isn't so bothered by it. Decide. Go for "good enough" instead of 'best decision ever made on Earth." Hugs, hugs, hugs. Don't text touch." http://www.businessinsider.com/a-neuroscience-researcher-re

15.01.2022 Do you struggle to control your thoughts when planning for a difficult conversation... here is a wonderful tip for you!

13.01.2022 More on the topic of conscious communication... "Since most relationship problems are rooted in communications that are either avoided, forced or misinterpreted, the purpose [of conscious communication] is to provide an emotional experience that allows each person to feel safe enough to grow a quality relationship in which key emotional needs (not wants) are expressed, mutually valued and met through natural giving. (To give naturally, by the way, is to give from a place o...f overall love or joy, as opposed to fear or guilt or shame.)" http://blogs.psychcentral.com//conscious-communication-1-/

10.01.2022 This article from the Harvard Business Review explains how experimenting with tweaking your communication approach can make it so much more effective: https://hbr.org//good-communication-requires-experimenting

08.01.2022 One of the biggest challenges for mediation is getting everyone together in the same room - not just because of emotions running high, but because of geographical distance and busy schedules. One solution with a lot of potential is online mediation. I wrote my Masters Thesis on the advantages of online mediation for Australia, and I (with another gorgeous mediator in Melbourne, Nathalie) offer an online mediation service. If you would like to know more, here is a short webinar produced by the Hawaiian Virtual Mediation Lab (or you could always ask me!) http://www.virtualmediationlab.com//introduction-to-onlin/

05.01.2022 Brilliant article here on negotiating with someone who is not telling the truth. People lie. It is a fact of life. "Typically they see it as a way to gain the upper hand (although it can actually cause backlash and prevent the kind of creative problem solving that leads to win-win deals). Deception is thus one of the intangibles that negotiators have to prepare for and take steps to prevent." https://hbr.org//how-to-negotiate-with-a-liar&cm_sp=Articl
