Micheline Dewdney’s presentation at a recent NSW Chapter Networking meeting, challenged those present to look beyond the all too common habit of blaming failure to reach agreement on the parties and/or their legal representatives and the success of the mediation to the mediator and the mediation process. Micheline contended that this is a somewhat simplistic approach and that there is a need to probe much further, to continue to learn from our own experience and to share our experience with other mediators. Micheline would love to hear responses from readers including additional ideas, which may be published in later editions of Update. Download the paper. >> LEADR’s 9th International ADR Conference
