Our trainer, Lee Jay Berman commentary:

We volunteer and we gripe.  We go to “networking” events, and don’t feel comfortable there or don’t know what to do.  Many of those trying to establish a career in mediation come from prior careers in law, mental health or education.  These three careers are among the weakest at marketing and self-promotion.  Our industry suffers unnecessarily because so many are highly skilled at mediating, and yet lack the skills that enable them to secure the opportunity to actually mediate.  In this course, learn how to grow your mediation business starting tomorrow.  After one day, you'll have your own specific formula for success so you can grow your mediation practice now!  Isn't your mediation career worth a day of your time?

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and to take precautionary measures, our office and services have become virtually available for our staff, clients, and students.  
 

What people have said about Lee Jay:

"When mediators speak candidly, our daily struggles revolve less around ADR techniques than around understanding the work of effectively marketing and organizing our individual business models. The tools provided in Lee Jay's course have been instrumental game changers for me in actualizing the growth of my private practice so that I can do what I actually want to do - mediate."
- Arianna Jeret, MA/MSW, Mediator, The Agency for Dispute Resolution

Randolph Lowry Award (2010) for his work as a mediator, trainer, and thought leader in the field.  He is a AAA Master Mediator for employment matters, a national panelist on their commercial, construction and entertainment panels, and a select mediator on their International Center for Dispute Resolution mediation panel.  He is a Distinguished Fellow with the International Academy of Mediators, a Charter Diplomat with NADN, and was one of the first 5 U.S. mediators certified by the International Mediation Institute. 

Sonia Patel Dalton entered the ADR field over 20 years ago, having held Assistant and Business Manager Positions at JAMS—the nation’s largest ADR firm.  Later, she was tapped to spearhead the development and launch of a boutique dispute resolution firm, PMA Dispute Resolution, with several offices throughout California and Nevada.   Having successfully launched a new firm coupled with her history and understanding of what it takes to run a large ADR firm, Ms. Patel Dalton has shifted her focus to consulting with neutrals on how to launch and manage successful ADR practices. From creating the basic infrastructure to retention and growth of existing, seasoned ADR Firms, Sonia has the expertise, passion and tenacity to build and exceed growth and revenue expectations.  Sonia has learned that to have a successful ADR practice, you must not only be a good mediator, but you must also be a good business person. Often, time, effort and resources are invested in becoming a better mediator without the same investment on the business/administrative side. She often presents on effective ways to manage and build your mediation practice.  Sonia graduated from UCSB and received her law degree and certificate in dispute resolution from Willamette University.
