Flying Solo?...then don't travel coach

Us go-it-alone mediators need to stick together.

Yeah, especially us refugees from big (law) firms who have not quite come to grips with the day we handed in our security card and made that lonely journey to the basement carpark carrying a brown box filled with paper clips and a photo of the kids.

Oh, and then there's the office that no longer looks out over the bay...but hey, those bricks outside my window take on a beautiful hue around sunset...if only I could do something about that damn extractor fan from the Star of India...

But hey, there's plenty of help out there.

Like, would someone tell me what the heck is start-up stamina...flat world thinking...sustainable routine...extreme outsourcing....leveraging technology...elevator test...extendibility...failing forward...

Well, get with the program with wonderfully rich and generous resources that leverage the hell out of technology and anything else you need to run a nimble ADR practice, to be found at:
