  Email from Spring 2009 trainee:           Hi Steve -

I just wanted to share that I had a family law mediation the other day where both attorneys had called me to warn me that there was "no way the case was going to settle in mediation", which was scheduled for later in the day.  Guess what?!? We settled it!! It was very intense and emotional, but both parties settled everything! It was such a great feeling! Thanks again for all that you've taught me!

Letter from trainee:

 "Thank you for a terrific 40 hours of training.  I had a lot to digest and reflect upon in the week following but a fair, although overly simplistic distilation is just this -- really terrific.  It was tremendous to have the benefit of your instruction and your experience and your ability to make everyone feel comfortable and ---enthusiastic about contributing.  It elevated the experience for everyone. 

I feel fortunate to have been in such a great group and to have seen the way you create an environment where people feel safe putting themselves "out there."  Take care and thank you again, Steve."
