Building your ADR business part 2 – Defining a Mission Statement

Here is the second part of our Business Development webcast.  Part one is here

These videos serve as stand alone modules looking at vision, mission and goal setting. They also work as brief workshops to accompany the Get Artisan business planner workbooks (Get your copies here) as well as delivering the pre-course work for delegates attending our upcoming two day Business Development programs.  You can book onto a future business development course for mediators and collaborative practitioners at this link.

For now though, enjoy this short video and let us know how you get on with determining mission.

 

How your values will drive your business development

Need help, quick, getting started on your mediation or collaborative business development plan?

Good news.

We are recording and distributing short videos covering the first three modules of our Get Artisan business planner book, namely vision mission and goals. You can watch the first episode just below.

Moving into mediation as your second career

In this short series we are exploring how we become mediators and, having done so, what a career path in this field of work might look like, in order to grow a sustainable practice in mediation or other dispute resolution processes.  This is the second part of that series. The first part and introduction can be found here.

We suggest that we need a clearer path to follow between certain waymarkers or, to give them another name, transition points.  These are identifiable stages in our personal, professional and business development.  By setting out such transition points we can measure when we have moved from one stage to another and how much progress we are making.

How can I grow my mediation or collaborative law practice?

Here at Get Artisan™ we believe that the lack of a clear career path within mediation and dispute resolution work has held back individuals and the profession to date.  The result is that many do not earn enough from their work to be able to sustain dedicated practices.  Even when they long to do more of the dispute resolution work, they struggle to build up a credible case load or reliable sources of dispute resolution work referrals.

We propose that seeing our careers in this field as a series of transitions will serve new entrants, and the more experienced, well.

Doing so will provide a properly delineated road map, complete with waymarkers, that we can use to measure our progress as emerging mediators, collaborative practitioners or other conflict professionals.  It will also enable us to set our bearings and take strategic level decisions on what we need to do in order to move onto to the next checkpoint. 

How Get Artisan helps dispute resolution practitioners to grow their business

We recently delivered a Get Artisan program for collaborative practitioners and mediators in Seattle.

We received this feedback from one leading practitioner, Michael Fancher, following that program.

I am a Collaborative attorney, and my wife and I together also manage a small law firm.  When we saw a flyer for Neil Denny’s “Get Artisan” workshop, we recognized immediately that he was offering some new ideas on practice building. 

He exceeded our expectations. 

Get Artisan Webcast #4 – Embracing Complexity

Here is the fourth of five webcasts which explore how the Get Artisan™ model helps mediators, collaborative practitioners and other dispute resolution professionals grow their business.

In this conversation, Jason Dykstra and Neil Denny discuss the key artisan trait of Complexity and how a willingness and ability to embrace complexity can help us in delivering our practice as well as growing our dispute resolution practices.

Get Artisan is currently focusing on helping dispute resolution practitioners to grow their practice into sustainable and rewarding organisations that will serve their clients as well as providing income, provision and fulfilment for themselves and their own families.  We do this through building and sharing with the Get Artisan community here on the blog, at the Facebook page and at the thriving LinkedIn group, through workshops, keynotes and one to one coaching services.
