Advanced Mediation Skills Course
“It was excellent! This was my third “advanced” mediation course within the past five years, and it was by far the best course I’ve taken. Bruce’s teaching method was very effective. I was impressed by Bruce’s high level of knowledge regarding the different tools available when attempting to overcome impasse. The shadowing experience was what sold me on the course–and it did not disappoint. I truly enjoyed watching the expert videos as they were all both informative and entertaining.”
– Oscar, Ret. Judge, Mediator, Texas
