      "As an employment lawyer who has litigated cases for more than 28 years, and mediated cases for more than 15 years, I have read many articles on optimizing the mediation process.  I find Amy's words of wisdom to be one of the most spot-on assessments of how to make mediation successful for the participants.  Thank you, Amy, for sharing your great ideas!"

 - Sheila Englemeier, Engelmeier & Umanah, Minneapolis, MN

      "Amy's article on Myths and Misconceptions of Negotiation in Mediation  is succinct and well-written, highlighting some of the most frequent myths about mediation and negotiation behavior.  I found the real-world examples and valid observations about human nature to be particularly helpful in explaining the "realities."  

      -Theo Cheng, ADR Office of Theo Cheng

"Thanks for your article in Attorney at Law.  Great to see someone pushing the apology to the front line!"

-- Richard Herold, Snell and Wilmer, Phoenix AZ
