Thanks for checking out 'Creative Tension.' This blog will focus on conflict, conflict resolution, mediation, and negotiation. I am the founder of The Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution and Training as well as the Director of Comunity Mediation at Family Services of Central Massachusetts. I have served as an advisor to The Harvard (now Global) Negotiation Insight Initiative (HNII) founded by Erica Fox and Bill Ury's Abraham Path Initiative. I am also on the board of the National Association for Community Mediation and a member of Massacusetts Council of Family Mediators and New England Association of Conflict Resolution, among other organizations.
My goal here is to offer ideas, insights, thoughts and ponderings about those tensions that we have, or perceive, in our lives. To me tension is an opportunity for creativity - and I mean that in a positive sense - sure we can choose to use our creativity for negative reasons - I choose the positive.
Read on!
Thanks - Mitch Gordon
