 How do you manage—or choose not to manage—your mediation sessions? This month, the Westside Professional Development Group will be discussing a word that might stir some backlash simply for being associated with mediation: "control." Is “control” a taboo concept, or a necessary tool for keeping everyone on track? Maybe you sometimes let the parties take the wheel— and perhaps that isn’t such a bad thing. Join us for an open conversation where we’ll share stories, challenge assumptions, and explore the role (or non-role) of control in our practice. Led by PDG leaders Aaron Larks-Stanford and Aurenne Datner, we hope you'll join us! Tuesday, August 12, 2025  6:00 PM |
