See you at the VMN Fall Conference in Richmond!

My colleague Renee Reynolds and I are thrilled to be speaking at the Virginia Mediation Network fall conference in September at the University of Richmond School of Law. Renee and I will be talking about managing emotions in mediation.  We will cover topics such as recognizing and decoding emotions, the importance of understanding reactions to grief, why a mediator should validate and address emotions in mediation, and how to move past impasse when emotional issues seem to be at play.  Hope to see you there!
