Better cropping job! Enjoy!

I missed last year's end of year Holiday, Christmas, New Year post. Given what an incredible year it has been for me and my firm this should probably be considered a Thanksgiving post. I want to express my sincerest gratitude and thanks for all of your support and business that has led to our best year by far.
When I started my mediation practice I never dreamed it would be this successful! It is very gratifying and personally fulfilling to have helped so many people, businesses, insurers and their representatives finally resolve their disputes. I don't want to sound overly maudlin but I think I must have found my calling.
As a present to you all, I want to share with you my Christmas Lily picture and this time with my wonderful Grandson Van making his first appearance.
Happy holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy New Years to you all.
Please stay safe!

Think I'm going to print these up to hand out at the start of my mediations.

Old dog learning.
Hope this finds you, your friends and family doing well and staying safe in this crazy time. This old dog has, in fact, been learning some new tricks. Given the stay in place orders We have been offering our mediation services via Zoom. So far (knock on wood) they have been going great. I really expected most clients would cancel but that has not been the case.
It took me a short while to get my bugs worked out but now I've got the program down. I can handle large group opening sessions where needed. Screen sharing is available for those who wish to present power-points and the like. I can then place the parties, attorneys and adjusters into separate private "rooms" for caucusing and move between them just as if it were in my offices. It can feel a bit clunky but it's definitely workable and we have been very successful in obtaining settlements. While I continue to prefer face to face, really, my only issue with Zoom is that I get sick of watching myself while I am talking. It's kind of disconcerting. We have also conducted a few in office mediations for those who still prefer. We carefully maintain our social distance and avoid shaking hands. Pat is even refraining from hugs. I have to admit that I have enjoyed the opportunity to see and talk with actual live folks. The break from watching myself is also welcome.
Come see use (one way or another). Peace to you all. Stay safe and healthy!

It's time for my once a year, need it or not, firm post. As I write, I am filled to overflowing with gratitude for this wonderful year. My mediation practice continues to grow exponentially. We've made many new friends and clients and our repeat business is immensely gratifying.
Our new offices are great. We love the convenience of the Heights Mediation Center and our space is comfortable and conducive to our purpose of helping people resolve their disputes. Single-minded dedication to the goal of helping people reach resolution through advance preparation, hard work and effective communication is proving to be a winning formula.
While the business is great, it is the friendships we have made that bring true satisfaction. Following a recent mediation, one of our clients and friends took the time to write me a note which said in part: "Your passion and compassion make a huge difference to us. I have never believed this work was anything other than a calling, and you prove that time and time again." The idea that my efforts motivated such kind words is at once humbling and a treasured gift.
With my heart filled with gratitude I write and wish you all a great and safe holiday season, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
And here's this year's Lily pucture. She's growing too fast.
Peace.

Mediation is one of the most effective tools of non-violence. It can turn parties away from conflict, towards compromise.
