  1. Hi Geoff – wanted to get in touch somehow because I’d like to do a video Skype interview with you for Mediator Academy. I would have got in touch via email but for some reason the link from KluwerMediationBlog to your website isn’t working. Happy to discuss topics for the interview.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks
    Aled
