Senior Mediator

Mediator

I will attempt a more transformative style of mediating assisting the disputing parties in forming their own process. I will do this with the assurance that I am there to keep things flowing in as positive a manner as is possible given the, often times, emotional undercurrents of the case. I mediated neighborhood dispute resolution with the Community Boards Program of San Francisco, trained mediators, and then trained the trainers of mediators for many years. I have maintained a private mediation practice since 1985 and I have taught Interpersonal, Organizational and Group Communication as well as Conflict Resolution and Mediation courses in the Communication Studies department at San Francisco State University since 1998. In addition, I also teach Public Speaking as an adjunct professor in the Rhetoric and Language department at the University of San Francisco and International Negotiation to MBA candidates at Hult International Business School. I am a part time coach and judge for the student negotiation teams at UC Law San Francisco (Formally UC Hastings).
