What do I gain from this endeavor? As a mediator at the Upchurch Watson White and Max Mediation Group in Florida I selfishly love mediating cases in which both parties arrive at mediation at the top of their game with all of their mediation tactics and strategies sharpened to a fine point. I always find simply phenomenal stuff at Victoria Pynchon’s awe-inspiring blog, Negotiation Law Blog, and this time I was again not disappointed. In Pynchon’s recent blog Mediators’ Proposals: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, which of course is informational and instructional in its own right, she refers to Ralph Williams’
Mediation Tips – Negotiation.

WOW!!! What a goldmine for litigators. His list offers one-stop shopping for mediation strategies, tactics, preparation, presentations, psychology, you name it. Williams’ list of tips is a must read for litigators and mediators alike and addresses subjects ranging from brackets and bluffing to reactive devaluation and rapport.

As a blogger it is nice to craft your own material and fancy yourself as an author of sorts but sometimes you need to bow to those who have mastered the craft. With these references to your material I bow to you Victoria Pynchon and Ralph Williams!
