Newsletter - Mediation Qualification

Mediation Qualification? Credentials don't count in mediation!
(....or how the belief that our 'background' or 'qualifications' rather than direct experience and continuous learning are more important leads to a very different perspective on what constitutes effective mediation.....)

Quotation Corner:

Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking

The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,

Creating, yet not possessing,

Working, yet not taking credit.

Work is done, then forgotten

Therefore it lasts forever.

Chapter 2 of the Tao Te Ching - Lao Tsu, translated by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English

Free e-book - Contemplations on Communication and Conflict (click the link to download)

This e-book is an archive of some of the early observations and anecdotes I have written for these newsletters, but now collected together in a free downloadable e-book, my aim being to make them more accessible than for you to have to scan through various web pages to read them.
