Writing

I write about conflict resolution, negotiation and communication in three formats: Blog, book, and articles.

Blogs

  • Conflict Zen: Explores simple yet powerful conflict resolution and negotiation habits for untangling disagreements, sorting out vexing issues, and moving forward.
  • The Year 20 Reboot: The chronicle of a year-long conflict resolution and negotiation experiment in my own marriage.
  • Making Mediation Your Day Job: For fellow mediation and negotiation professionals who want to master their craft and build successful businesses.

Book

In 2008 I wrote a book for my fellow mediators, Making Mediation Your Day Job. It’s been recognized in all of my publisher’s award programs, including Editor’s Choice, Publisher’s Choice, Reader’s Choice and Star designations. It sold well enough that second edition came out in late 2009, along with a Kindle version and international distribution. I’m working on my second book now but not quite ready to talk about it yet.

Articles

I’ve also written and continue to write columns and guest articles for newspapers, professional journals, popular magazines and others’ blogs. You can find a partial list here. If you’re interested in inviting me to write for your publication, I’d love to chat.
