I Wanted to Be a Mediator But Woke Up an Entrepreneur! Understanding the Business of Mediation
Friday, September 17, 2:00 pm EDT / 7:00 pm GMT
Whether you have started a solo practice, have joined forces with other mediators or even are championing yourself as your firm’s in-house mediator, you have probably realized that there is more to your efforts than just mediating.
As an entrepreneur (in reality or spirit), you now have to understand and master a full range of business skills. In this session, business strategist Carol Roth will:
- Bust common myths about entrepreneurship so that you understand what is required in running your own business practice;
- Give you tips and on how to professionalize your mediation business to help protect you from liability, attract more clients and create more efficiency in your work;
- Alert you to the risks and rewards of business ownership so that you know what to strive for and what to watch out for; and
- Show you how to maximize your overall efforts (and profits)!
