What I’ve Said

Over the years that I have been mediating, I have been fortunate to be invited to speak at many events, conferences and webinars.

In 2014, I was delighted to be able to present a lecture at Coventry University where I actually studied law many years ago. I have since been back on several occasions to present to the students undertaking an Alternative Dispute module. My lecture included details of my experience as a mediator and the skills needed for this type of dispute resolution.

Other previous speaking engagements include:

“Is Mediation the end of Commercial Litigation?” 

  • Institute of Credit Management Conference - Old Billingsgate.

  • Credit and Collections Conference - Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Westminster.
