Thank you for sharing a whole new perspective. I'll look forward to continuing to ponder the idea of our expectations of who we can serve as mediators, and how we might broaden our thinking beyond those expectations. And I've definitely got those teleseminars on my calendar. I notice that I can purchase recordings of teleseminars I've missed, which is so helpful since I can't always carve the time out of my work day to participate in the calls. Dina, great points!

I wonder what insights this realization, or the game, have for us about marketing our practices. It seems that like you, the profession, has an expectation about who will value mediation and when it's a viable option for resolution. If we let go of our preconceived notions about what a mediator does and who she serves we might find a much broader market to serve. In Februray and March I'm hosting teleseminars with practitioners who challgened the status quo: Diana Mercer and Cinnie Nobles. Each found her own way to deploying her skills in a unique way to meet market needs. Check out the calendar on my site if you'd like to join in. And, hey, thanks a bunch for the link love! Try. Fail.
