Spring is here!
20 March 2009Today is the first day of spring. Here in San Diego this is of much less significance to me than it was last year when I was on the East Coast.
Nonetheless, I heard an interesting quote today — “Growth is always followed by pruning.”
When we lived in Northern California along the bay, […]
It’s Been a Long Time… a really long time
11 December 2008I don’t think I can jump back into the blogging world after an almost six-month hiatus without some sort of an explanation. After all, in the blogging world, if you miss a day or a week, you are really behind. Six months, well, you might as well have… died!
Anyway, here’s the short of […]
Connecting With Your Deeper Meaning
30 December 2007Hello fellow mediators, arbitrators and conflict managers!
It has been a long break and I am back. I have thought of you often and have longed to come and jot a few notes here and there.
Alas, I hope you all had a blessed Christmas or Hannukah. We enjoyed some time off in the […]
A good read
27 November 2007A blogger over at Ms JD has posted an interview with Justice O’Connor I think you will find interesting.
She wove in excerpts from Justice O’Connors book. I thought this quote on power was thought provoking (on multiple levels: e.g. as to rainmaking, as to power in mediation, as to balancing the unbalanced):
“For both men […]
Back to the basics: growing your business
26 November 2007The principles are so simple.
As Jay Abraham has said (and many have repeated), to grow your business you need to do one (or all) of the following:
1) Get more clients;
2) Increase the amount each client spends; and/or
3) Increase repeat business from existing clients.
Many people recommend that you spend time on #3. The theory is […]
Following up with leads/referrals [part 2]
12 November 2007I recently had my assistant follow up (yet again) with several cases that we have had in the pipeline.
At one point in time, someone reached out to me for a mediation. But, the mediation didn’t go forward for various reasons. The other side needed more discovery, or depositions or in one case the […]
The gateway to freedom
6 November 2007Ah yes, freedom…
Doesn’t that word inspire positive thoughts?
Perhaps it’s because we are indoctrinated (those of us in the US) through our history and guiding fictions that we live in the “home of the brave and the land of the free.” We pay dearly for our “freedom.”
Today, I’m not talking about national or political freedom, […]
What does it really take to build the dream?
29 October 2007It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged about inner game stuff.
You know, the game that takes place on the inside. One of my favorite subjects.
I’m sure as mediators you understand on some level that our inner world creates our outer world.
Well, what is true in one arena may be true in another.
I was recently perusing […]

Playing Hard to Get?
1 October 2007I am ever so slowly catching up on blog reading after my extended leave of absence.
There have been some recent (ok stale for real time bloggers) posts from mediators about saying “no” to new business. One angle is that if you are not competent to do the work, you should say “no” so that […]
