  • 2024 - 4 - John CLEARY - Australia - CONFLICT MANAGEMENT FOR ONE
    JOHN CLEARY - CONFLICT MANAGEMENT FOR ONE
    I heard of, and from, John for the first time during the International Mediation Awareness Week 2022. It was during the afternoon of the last day of the Week,
    where John was talking about his – as he calls it – invention: ‘Conflict Management for One’ or ‘CM-1’.  This
    episode is mostly devoted to this type of mediation, as it has grown in significance over the recent times and – I must say – the audience of the International Mediation Awareness Week showed a high level of interest in CM-1.
    John trains mediators in this technique, but also provides other mediation services, such as property settlements. While his background is in separation and divorce, he also works in Strata and workplace dispute resolution.

  • 2024 - 2 - Jahan KALANTAR - TedX Speaker, lawyer, thinker and a great human being
    Jahan KALANTAR is my guest in this episode. Jahan tells about himself:
    "I currently practice as a Partner at the firm Executive Law Group where I head up the criminal law team. In this role, I call upon my time as an advocate and a barrister from the Private Bar. My current practice focuses mostly on mental health, human rights, criminal law and commercial law.
    Prior to being called to the bar, I was an experienced statistical specialist with broad experience in all aspects of corporate governance, econometric and data visualization and representation including dealing and trading. This also included time spent looking at contracts, commercial transactions and the interrelationship they had with the banking sector and small-large businesses.
    I was lucky enough to talk at Tedx Sydney and give my talk on the importance of communication and I sometimes appear in the Media to discuss issues close to my heart!"

  • 2023 - 2 - Julia BARLING - Lawyer and Mediator, Magistrate, Victoria, Australia

    JULIA BARLING


    Julia is a lawyer by profession and has been practising law for almost 20 years. Most of

    worked in private law firms and also in the public sector, with Victoria Legal
    Aid, over the course of her career.

    During COVID Julia

    used her complete lack of social life to throw herself into her mediation / FDR
    training and by the start of 2021 she was an NMAS qualified mediator and a
    registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner. The initial plan was to
    incorporate mediation work into her family law practice, but it soon became
    clear to her that her passion was really in sorting things out, rather than
    litigation.
