Pauline Tesler
We carry each other in Collaborative Practice
About a year ago, I played a, believe me, very small part in making it possible for someone from another country to attend the IACP forum in New Orleans. I hadn't thought of it, or him, since then.
Today I received an email. He just wanted to thank me; the 'embarrassing' truth is he was effusive in the blessings he wished for me from my self-perceived 'small' part.

My colleague, author, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Tom Lewis, is working with me to put finishing touches on the course we are designing for the Straus Institute of Dispute Resolution later this month, called "Neurocollaboration." The material is among the most intellectually exciting I've encountered in learning how to make the shift more fully into collaborative conflict resolution.
Tom is a remarkable presenter. Here is a link to a lecture he gave on the Google campus in 2007, about empathy.
