TUESDAY TRUTH - Parenting Coordination (PC) is often confused with Divorce Coaching (DC). A PC works with high conflict clients who HAVE a parenting plan, a DC works with high conflict client(s) who don't have a parenting plan. PC can involve arbitration, DC does not. I do both

Sometimes it's hard having your voice heard when trying to create change. Change is hard for people. It can cause uncertainty, fear & resistance. It can also create opportunity, growth & creativity. Keep sharing your voice, be positive, respectful & know people will hear you.

In Elder, Wills & Estate Mediation we talk about #capacity ALL THE TIME! I think we need to talk more about MEDIATOR CAPACITY when we speak of #ADR. We must do no harm. Meaning we know what we are capable of & asking for help or referring out as needed. #mediatorcapacity

There is so much good in the world and so much good we can do. Why do so many online want to focus on the negative?

[Families First Mediation & Arbitration @ADRforALL]

Here's my truth...people use X to portray the version of themselves they want to be OR the person they THINK people want. BE YOU! Nobody else matters.

Years ago I started https://t.co/xolqytSHw3 to help "older" adults have a voice & challenge #ageism. My Mom, well known for her honesty, my M-I-L, well known for her positivity & my Dad, well known for his platinum hair, and strength. These are my role models and  inspiration!

So much good work is being done in Canada yet so many just want to criticize, bully, harm and blame. Wouldn't it be more productive to focus on the positives and collaborate on problem solving the negatives? (Yes, spoken like a true mediator)

#SCREENING is important in all #ADR situations, not just Family Law. In Workplace, Elder, Estate & Civil cases we need to screen and be aware of power imbalances, coercive control, financial abuse, elder abuse, IPV, Domestic & Family Violence, amongst others.

Please don't believe everything you read online! We still have personal accountability and are responsible for making our own INFORMED decisions based on truth. Not sure what is true? Ask someone with the appropriate access to real information.

Did we forget how to fight fair and have respectful disagreements?

[Families First Mediation & Arbitration @ADRforALL]

Borrowed... "Here’s a revolutionary idea: try treating people online as if they were standing right in front of you. These online dialogues & disrespect for one another are getting far too normalized & bleeding over into the real world. We need to relearn civility.

[Families First Mediation & Arbitration @ADRforALL]

Most people want a resolution, even if it seems they are fighting against it. It means they aren't ready to say YES or the right solution hasn't been identified which will allow them to say YES.

Ok fellow Dispute Resolution Professionals, time to give back. What is the best advice you can give to newer/junior DR professionals? #disputeresolution #professionals

[Families First Mediation & Arbitration @ADRforALL]

Let's look at dispute resolution through a different lens...a proactive and not reactive one.
