What a great example this is of a professional person acting on the pledge to reduce the carbon footprint of what they do. A fine example to us all. Please read this and ask: what can I also do? #mediatorsgreenpledge https://t.co/DwP7jdXe6M

“It’s all about trust, isn’t it?” observed my assistant mediator in a recent mediation - and indeed it so often is. Read why "A ‘high trust’ economy will be more productive" #trust #mediation @davidhumeinst https://t.co/F3TD0EBIKd

It was a privilege to participate in this event. Now, what does it mean in practice? Can we actually implement the ideas which will support creating a more trusting economy? A follow up article in The Scotsman: https://t.co/fIGizbpNvz https://t.co/e77VPcjPFH

#PoachersPilgrimage Still one of the finest books of its type - thought-provoking, deep, moving, essential reading, from one of Scotland’s most important thinkers and writers @alastairmci

[Alastair McIntosh @alastairmci]

If you’ve got the earlier edition of #PoachersPilgrimage all that’s changed is a new cover, subtitle and a new Foreword of which a PDF is online at: https://t.co/n4V8LwFOai

And the new book from @scotlit - see the contents pages here - is just £19.95 at: https://t.co/FIvvJxbEHD

@JoBerry9 Great piece Jo!

[John Sturrock @Coremediation]

This, as always with @JoBerry9, is a must watch. If only all our politicians could hear this and act on it #Peace

[Jo Berry CBE @JoBerry9]

Thinking today of all lives lost, all traumatised, all who courageously are building peace. Eternally grateful to those who supported and signed the Good Friday Agreement 25 years ago. I celebrate all the amazing peace building which has happened and know the work carries on.

@RichardFoggo Tell him I saw them playing it live at Earls Court in London in 1994 - available as Pulse.

Some thoughts, drawing on experience in conflict resolution, expressed in an imaginary letter to the new First Minister of Scotland! Food for thought… https://t.co/LHzgZm5kUf

Please support this worthy cause - a great effort by Michael on behalf of Epilepsy Scotland

[Michael Sturrock @MichaelSturrock]

✅🏊‍♂️day 26/28 of my double marathon swim to raise money for @epilepsy_scot complete!

This marks a potentially really important change in the widespread acceptance of mediation. Can we follow this path in Scotland? #mediationworks https://t.co/91UWCPu5cg

Grow the Pie - I like to think that, for over 20 years, Core has had a purpose beyond merely generating revenue. This short video with Alex Edmans captures the idea of purpose and profit for businesses really well. Worth a watch. https://t.co/sk3m90Dg7d
