Welcome back to the New Year. We hope you enjoy a little bit of holiday reading to get you back into things. 2009 promises to be an exciting year with the LEADR Conference in Melbourne in September (see right) and a year of many stimulating professional development activities and resources. Enjoy! — Fiona Hollier, Chief Executive Officer.
David Lieberman gives an insight into why franchising disputes are "made for mediation". Usually parties are interested in long-term relationships and the types of complaints lend themselves to innovative solutions. >>
Podcasts: John Wade shares what he's learnt about dealing with hard negotiators – those using behaviours often called "aggressive or strategic".
Will the leadership style of US president Barack Obama, described by Robert Benjamin as "an example of thoughtful agreement", inspire others to better manage conflict and negotiate differently? >> 
LEADR Trainer, Bradley Chenoweth, will be leading two micro skills workshops in Melbourne on 17 and 18 March: one on issue exploration and the other on private sessions. Explore the subtelties, deepen your skills and earn CPD points. More info. >>
