Bias in mediation with Linda Fisher
In this session, Linda explores some of the myths about bias in mediation and shares some practical tools to add to our toolkits. Join Linda in this conversation, and be prepared to be challenged. Bring your biases along, and put them on the table. Take the next step in reflective practice.
