A Better Model
Joe`s 23 years of experience offers an effective process to create empowered participants. It offers safety and support to negotiate equitable agreements with long-term success. Empowered participants become confident and competent. By contrast, participants who feel inadequate and fearful will under-perform and adopt petty and dictatorial styles or become submissive and avoid opportunities to take initiative. All too often participant`s energy gets squashed by a process they don`t understand or feel comfortable with.

Joe is an active promoter of mediation. He%a%s founder of the Mediation Certification Board Of Oregon, and devotes many hours to promoting mediation, and training, supervising and mentoring mediators.
