Mediating Solutions

Communication - Teamwork - Productivity

 

Greetings!  

 

We are excited to finally unveil our newsletter's new look!

The content is much the same with news and articles from trusted and useful sources, and of course we've kept our own Featured Business Article and "Personal Matters" for you to enjoy.  In this edition you'll also find information about our summer speaking engagements and options for viewing our Peace-Maker training program.

 

Beyond the focus on business and conflict management, we've included a discussion on the use of social media for businesses, information about the 405 freeway closure, and an unusual article about a couple who successfully foreclosed on their bank.  That last one I couldn't resist sharing!    

   

Special thanks to my assistant Daniel and my attorney Carolyn Epstein for making useful contributions to this edition, and of course, thanks to you, our readers!  We love hearing from you, and of course always encourage you to share our newsletter with others. 

 

Please let us know how we can be of assistance to you. 

 

All the best,
