"Bridging Troubled Waters illustrates and illuminates the value and importance of creativity in dealing with the complexity of conflict. It helps us explore how to employ our whole selves–our minds, hearts, and souls– in approaching conflict." ––Chris Carlson, coexecutive director, the Policy Consensus Initiative, Santa Fe
"This is a must–read for the practitioner as well as the academic. A brilliant approach to conflict resolution that is certain to shift the thinking of those who are still operating from twentieth century approaches. This is a necessary addition to the library of all conflict resolution educators and practitioners." ––David E. Reagan, psychology and communications instructor, Camosun College, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
-At last, here is a book for conflict resolution practitioners that goes to the heart of what being a practitioner really means. Michelle LeBaron gets right to it, decisively cutting through to the place where, in truth, our practice resides--our intuition, creativity, and relationships with ourselves and others. She writes about difficult ideas--the inner voice that guides us, the power of congruence, the impact of our authenticity and courage--and expresses them with grace and clarity. She reminds us that, in the end, the most important thing we bring to the table is ourselves. This book will take conflict resolution practitioners to a whole new level in the practice of our craft.- --Susan Collin Marks, executive vice president, Search for Common Ground and author, Watching the Wind: Conflict Resolution During South Africa's Transition to Democracy
-Run, do not walk, to buy a copy of Bridging Troubled Waters! Just reading it will make you a better mediator, no matter what level you are currently practicing at. Michele LeBaron has identified techniques we have been barely conscious of that give us a whole new depth to our mediation. She has gone far, far from the old box of techniques we have been working with. Bravo!- --Zena Zumeta, mediator and trainer, Mediation Training and Consultation Institute/The Collaborative Workplace
-Every culture, every community, and every organization has conflict. To be alive is to be involved in conflict. Yet there is a paradox. Too much of it for too long becomes destructive. Too little, and we lose the critical tensions that make us creative and vibrant. LeBaron charts the middle path. She gives us the concepts, tools, and insights from narrative experiences we need to analyze and navigate the rapids. Whatever boat you find yourself in, from ocean liner to canoe, keep Bridging Troubled Waters close at hand. It will guide you to safety...and beyond.- --Peter Adler, partner, The Accord Group, Honolulu, Hawaii
