Four adults talk about mediation services in a stylish office with a whiteboard, animal hide rug, and wall art.

The Most Important Part of A Mediation

We start every conversation with every claimant at every mediation by explaining the most important part of the mediation process. Depending on who you represent or what role you in play in a mediation, it might seem like the most important things to explain are AWW, SEB, TTD, or some other legalese acronym. Maybe the […]

A small chapel features patterned chairs, a central altar, gold curtains, and plants, suited for reflection or mediation.

What brings you peace?

In hardship— disease, disagreement, big decisions or the overwhelm of daily life— it’s often difficult to think of how to find comfort. The time we most need a tool is almost always the worst time to try and forge it, and though we all experience hardship, we often shy away from talking about it, which […]

You can’t rush art.

My kids were 10, 8, 6, and 4 when Toy Story 2 came out. As kids do, they watched it on repeat, and as kids do (or maybe this was just mine!) they latched on to certain lines and repeated them to each other, laughing hysterically as they imitated the characters. To this day— at […]

Make Things Better

“The best way to contribute to a community… isn’t by complaining. It’s by making things better.” It’s hard to go a day without hearing or reading about how bad it is “out there” right now. Small talk and lunch break conversations drift towards the world’s tragic state like a log floating down the Mississippi. Most […]

Shake It Up

Where do you park when you get to work? The grocery store? Which route do you take home? What billboards do you read, trees do you notice, dogs do you pass? What color are the shutters on the house 3 doors down? What’s sitting in the cupholder of your car? What was your spouse, your […]

Translation Please (Or Something More?)

Have you ever tried to order food in a foreign country? How about tell a 3-year-old why they have to wear sunscreen at the beach? Ever been in an argument with a spouse, friend or coworker that seems to just keep going round and round? We’ve all experienced the challenge of communicating in different languages. […]

Two women talk about workers’ compensation mediation while sitting in yellow chairs near sunny windows in a bright room.

Start With Story

Often, we begin a mediation by asking the injured worker to tell us about their accident. Before they start to speak, sometimes, someone else in the room says, “We’ve already talked about the accident.” While we respectfully acknowledge folks’ attention to time and redundancy, we still urge the injured worker to tell us their story.In […]

The Power Of Music

It happened just last week. At a particularly challenging point in his morning workout, Dan called upon a strength beyond his now aching and fatigued body to get him through the remainder of the class. Through sweat and broken breaths, he urged himself to keep pushing, keep going, one more rep, one more round. Rest […]

But How Much Does It Cost?

The world is thinking a lot about cost lately as the price of seemingly everything is steadily increasing, and the word “inflation” is somehow making its way into daily conversation. As we shell out $7 for a “Congrats on the new baby” card, $8.50 for a latte from our local cafe, and Sky’s-The-Limit on rent […]
