Mediator certification, part 1

CafeMediateWhat’s the difference between mediator certification, licensure and rostering? What’s happening out there with certification? Is mediator certification a good idea or a bad one — and is that question sending us down an unhelpful path? When is private certification a good choice and when should mediation training consumers be wary? And are you a truly certified mediator or a “certificated” one?

In this podcast episode we’re joined by master mediator Susanne Terry, conflict resolution professor at Woodbury Institute and Vermont Law School and member of the Association for Conflict Resolution Board of Directors. Susanne’s a dear colleague of mine and I’m so glad she could be with us.

We referenced these organizations and resources in the podcast:
