A Mediator's Round Table

The practice of mediation often feels like a lonely endeavor. We work without the benefit of peers or mentors. Many mediators have no cohorts for case review or brainstorming. No old timer is waiting in the wings to teach us the ropes or let us in on time-tested trade secrets.  Often we are left to reinvent the wheel when it comes to best practices and marketing techniques. And, until now, there has been no way for mediators to reduce costs by engaging in cooperative marketing.

I am interested in finding ways for us to gather and engage in on-going conversation with trusted colleagues.  Many of us would appreciate being a part of a collaborative forum for promoting ourselves, our practices, and the mediation process.  How can we create partnerships that invite us to share talents, in-sights, and concerns?  How can we work collectively to increase our profits and improve our skills?  How can we join forces and increase our viability, visibility, and revenues?  How can we can finally bring mediation into the mainstream?
