Even if you’ve been in law practice for decades before switching to a mediation practice, it’s one thing to be an advocate in a mediation, and it’s another to be the neutral.  Developing and promoting you as a mediator involves developing your mediation skills and getting the word out about your mediation practice. In this episode, Jean Lawler–commercial + insurance mediator and arbitrator–talks about mediator training programs, other educational resources for mediators, who to notify and how to do announcements for your mediation practice, how to figure out your niche within mediation, and more.
