Are you rewarding people for coming up with the right answer? When you only reward right answers, how often do others in the room not make a contribution because they are afraid it may be wrong?

Did you know that your negotiation starts long before you get to the negotiation table?

A pre-negotiation strategy meeting has the benefit of bringing different perspectives before you begin discussions with the other side.

What a delight to finish a mediation this morning to find several messages of congratulations for having been included on @Doyle's Guide as one of Victoria's leading mediators for 2025.

Could this be Copilot's best Friday mediation joke yet? If Copilot were a person, I'm sure it would be currently sweetly smiling at you waiting to see if you got the hole joke 🙄

Funny or not funny?

I'm back with another Friday mediation joke from Copilot. It feels like something's missing from this week's joke. I'm sure with a little digging around, I'll be able to find out what it is.

Thank you to Maria Kerhoulas at @Frenkel Partners Lawyers for inviting me to speak to the team today. It is always a pleasure to speak about Negotiation and Mediation and to share a few war stories. And the sandwiches were delicious.

Watch out mediators! According to Copilot's mediation joke this week, you soon find the ATO hitting you up for a HECS debt on that additional qualification. Shh, let's keep these skills a carefully guarded secret .

I'm back with another Copilot generated mediation joke. This week it is all about music and mediation. I'm beginning to think that instead of generating jokes, Copilot has actually been generating metaphors. What do you think?

How important is your work environment?

Finally, this week I have had the painters in to change my office colour to a much more calming blue. I'm already feeling so much better when I walk through the door.

The psychology of colour is real.

This week's Copilot mediation joke got me thinking. Are mediators born with this inbuilt GPS or can it be retrofitted?

If lawyers can collaborate more, despite working in an adversarial system, they may well be able to deliver faster, more efficient outcomes for their clients. And a happy client is the best form of business development.

So, Copilot has been at it again and we have a new joke about mediation this week. I can't say I'm a trekkie but I nearly got to visit the DMZ in Korea last year. Is that the same thing??

For those of you who have just been away for school holidays, this week's Copilot Friday mediation joke may be triggering. Just warning you 😉

If you are in the commercial property management business, chances are you will be involved in a leasing dispute at some stage. Click on the link below if you would like to find out how you can watch my presentation.

It is so important that lawyers understand that, although they work in an adversarial system, they don't need to behave in an adversarial way.

Does a Plaintiff have a right to seek an order for mediation? It would appear so - at least in the UK. Had the defendant's barrister had his way his client would have incurred significant legal fees and it would have lost control of the outcome.

Some great news in my inbox today with confirmation that I have been reappointed to the @Victorian Small Business Commission mediation panel for a third term.

Here is the third in my series of Friday mediation jokes created by Copilot. I love a bit of yoga to manage my wellbeing. Who knew it could give me mediation skills too?

This week's Copilot Friday mediation joke. I'm not sure that Copilot has mastered grammar yet. Perhaps it should be "the noisy disputant".

Funny or not funny???
