We still have some places available on our October 2024 Family Mediation training course. The course is accredited by The Irish Professional Mediators' Organisation. Details at arcmedlaw.com/wp/ipmo-family…

A career in mediation starts with a course and our skills are then refined over many years. A mediator is always learning about diverse topics such as the law, negotiation theory, psychology, finance & all the other things that help us to help you reach a lasting resolution!

So if you have ever dreamed of becoming a professional "peacemaker" then start today. As the old Chinese proverb goes, "If you plant a tree in the morning, it is unrealistic to expect to sit in the cool of its shade by the evening."

So true. Many mediators can feel "impostor syndrome" as they start their professional journey. It can take months or even years to steady the ship, by honing & acknowledging the skills they have to offer disputants.

Still a few places available for our October 2024 Family Mediation course. Enquiries can be made using our contact form at: arcmedlaw.com/wp/contact-us/

A pleasure to meet you & hear your insightful views, as always

Sad news. Tony Whatling will be missed by the mediation community. His books helped refine our skills & help as many people as we could in the process. We owe him a debt.

The outcome of years of hard work by many people, and something the founders of Arc have championed since we visited Canada as researchers in 2010. Our business was only a few months old but our dreams were big!

Really enjoyed this interview! It was a brilliant opportunity to meet one of my mediation heroes

A great reason why statistics need to be interpreted and explained, and why you should be skeptical of simplistic statistical arguments which don't consider different interpretations.
