Weber Dispute Resolution

10/12/2026

Let them be wrong.

You do not have to correct every exaggeration, every bad memory, or every little thing someone gets wrong in an argument.

Ask yourself whether it actually matters.

If it does not, let it go.

A lot of conflict disappears when you stop trying to correct every sentence.

Listen, people. A little fake is okay.

Authenticity is good, but you do not have to say every thought that pops into your head. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is keep an opinion to yourself.

That does not make you dishonest. It means you have tact.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO DIFFERENTLY ON MONDAY MORNING?

I'm really excited about this one!

On January 8 and 9, I'm teaming up with my friend and business advisor, Lynne White, for ADR KEYS TO SUCCESS, a special two-day workshop in Solana Beach, California.

Lynne is an extraordinary business consultant with more than 40 years of experience helping professionals build successful businesses. I've benefited enormously from her wisdom, and I'm thrilled to bring her expertise to the dispute resolution community.

Here's the thing. You can be an excellent mediator and still struggle to build a successful mediation practice. Finding clients, setting fees, developing referral relationships, and managing the business side of things require skills that aren't typically covered in mediation training.

That's what we're going to work on together.

We're keeping this workshop small and **in person** so we can roll up our sleeves, have meaningful conversations, and help participants work through the actual challenges they're facing in their practices.

Our goal? When you walk into your office on Monday morning, you'll have practical tools and a plan you can start using immediately.

I'd love to have you join us!

Someone having a bad moment? Give them a little grace.

When someone’s behavior is out of character, consider assuming good faith. Sometimes people are struggling and handling things clumsily.

A little patience and empathy can go a long way toward keeping a difficult moment from becoming a bigger conflict.

Ever catch yourself making a conflict worse while it is happening?

That happened to me yesterday. I caught myself reacting, paused, and changed direction. Once I stopped focusing on my own reaction and tried to understand what was upsetting the other person, the conversation changed.

Catching yourself midstream is a skill. The sooner you notice it, the sooner you can reset.
