Podcasts about qualities

In this episode of "The Free Lawyer" podcast, host Gary interviews Amy Mariani, a former trial attorney turned mediator and arbitrator. Amy discusses her career journey, the challenges of traditional legal practice, and her transition to mediation. She shares insights on the emotional and practical aspects of mediation, the impact of virtual platforms like Zoom, and the importance of self-reflection and mentorship for lawyers. Amy emphasizes aligning career choices with personal values and offers practical advice for selecting mediators and resolving disputes creatively.For over twenty years, Amy represented individuals and businesses in employment, personal injury, and business disputes. Many of those cases went to trial, but Amy resolved many others through effective and creative negotiation. Her experiences working for regional and national firms exposed her to the unique needs of individuals, small and medium businesses, and multi-national corporations. This in turn gives her insights into their similar and disparate interests and concerns during the mediation process.Since 2013, Amy's mediation skills have saved hundreds of individuals and businesses thousands of dollars, countless hours of time, and immeasurable amounts of stress.Amy's Career Pivot: Motivation and Reflection (00:02:16) Reality vs. Expectation of Trial Law (00:03:24) Law Firm Experiences: Pros and Cons (00:05:36) Advice for Lawyers Feeling Unsatisfied (00:08:50) Overcoming the Mental Hurdle of Career Change (00:11:05) Building a Mediation Practice: Early Challenges (00:12:54) Checkpoints for Career Satisfaction (00:13:47) Transition to Mediation: Process and Distinctions (00:15:01) Amy's Mediation Approach and Pre-Mediation Process (00:17:18) Handling Emotions in Mediation (00:19:31) The Value of Being Heard in Mediation (00:21:57) Court-Ordered Mediation and Emotional Release (00:23:05) Zoom vs. In-Person Mediation: Pros and Cons (00:24:02) Benefits of In-Person Mediation (00:25:12) Trends and the Future of Dispute Resolution (00:27:01) Personal Freedom Through Mediation (00:29:10) The Role of Mentorship and Coaching (00:30:45) Advice for Lawyers Seeking Alignment and Fulfillment (00:32:28) Creative Conflict Resolution and Mediator Selection (00:34:28) Qualities of an Effective Mediator (00:36:04)You can find The Free Lawyer Assessment here- https://www.garymiles.net/the-free-lawyer-assessmentWould you like to learn what it looks like to become a truly Free Lawyer?

FRIENDS OF GOD (PART 3) | PASTOR MARK BOER | FEBRUARY 8, 2026 — God created friendship as one of the ways we learn what steady love looks like—a friend who stays, even when things are hard (Proverbs 17:17). That same faithfulness matters in our relationship with God; we shouldn't give Him less care or consistency than we would a human friend. When Jesus told His followers to feed His sheep, He made it clear that loving Him means paying attention to and caring for others. Being a friend of God means being a friend to others.

Cirie Fields Survivor 50 Preseason Interview Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 50! Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Survivor 50 is here, and Mike Bloom sits down with Cirie Fields for a blockbuster preseason interview that sets the stage for this monumental season. As she prepares to head back to the island, Cirie Fields shares her motivations, her growth as a player, and candid impressions of the all-star cast she'll be facing. From imposter syndrome to graduation metaphors, Cirie gives us an inside look at what it means to approach Survivor's biggest milestone season as both a legend and a student of the game. The episode begins with Cirie explaining why she couldn't say no to Survivor 50, describing this return as her “Survivor graduation,” a final chance to earn her master's degree in a game that's been her “first love.” She opens up about needing a true win to feel worthy of her legendary status, despite past successes and victories on other reality shows. Mike and Cirie dive into how previous experiences have transformed her approach: Cirie now values working with past adversaries, leveraging forgiveness and flexibility rather than holding grudges. A special segment sees Cirie play “Friend or Foe,” offering unfiltered takes on potential allies and rivals, from challenge beasts to fellow strategists and new blood. – Cirie's emotional reasoning for accepting the Survivor 50 invitation and her drive to “complete what she started” – How playing recent seasons, and learning to work with former rivals,reshaped her social and strategic approach – Gut-level reactions to castmates: who feels like a shield, who worries her, who she hopes can become a true ally – The challenge of balancing legendary reputation with the need for genuine connections and trust among threats – Moments of humor as Cirie assesses everyone from fellow “mom figures” to unpredictable wild cards Will Cirie's growth and hard-won perspective carry her to the win at last, or will old dynamics and new unknowns present fresh obstacles? Is she ready to embrace risk, or will her careful reads keep her safe until the end?

In this episode, Stephen Seckler speaks with Oran Kaufman, a mediator with an extensive background in family law. They discuss Oran's journey from litigation to mediation, the skills required to be a mediator, and how mediation has changed over the last 30 years. Oran shares insights on the differences between mediation and litigation, the importance of listening, and the challenges of building a mediation practice. The conversation also touches on collaborative law, alternative legal careers, and the impact of technology on mediation. Takeaways Mediation requires a different skill set than litigation. Listening is a crucial skill for both mediators and lawyers. Transitioning from litigation to mediation can lower work related stress. Collaborative law offers an alternative to traditional litigation. Silence can be a powerful tool in mediation. There are several challenges in building a mediation practice that differ from building a law practice. Technology has expanded the reach of mediation services.

Social psychology expert Brant Elwood joins me to explore the fascinating and often troubling world of unconscious group dynamics. Brant brings a unique perspective, having spent four years as a field guide in wilderness therapy—accumulating over 10,000 hours working with small groups—before transitioning into organizational psychology and leadership consulting.We dive deep into the phenomenon of scapegoating: why groups unconsciously select certain members to carry their collective anxiety, how the scapegoat often cooperates with this unspoken contract, and what happens when that person leaves. Brant shares compelling examples from Tavistock group relations conferences and primate research to illustrate how these dynamics play out across species.I also share my own experience of being scapegoated in a T-group during grad school, and we explore how our childhood wounds create "Velcro" for these projections to stick. We discuss the role of humor as a potential escape route, what healthy leadership looks like, and why some organizations become addicted to crisis. The conversation takes a meaningful turn toward Nathaniel Brandon's work on self-esteem—what it truly means beyond the smarmy 90s version—and how a leader's unintegrated material gets amplified throughout an organization. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone navigating workplace dynamics or seeking to understand group psychology.Brant Elwood has a MA in Social-Organizational Psychology from Columbia University. He has held consulting roles and leadership positions within several therapeutic treatment organizations. During the pandemic, he directed a non-profit that utilized myth and archetypal theory to conduct rites of passage work with young men in the southeast US. Brant draws from the mythopoetic lineage of Robert Bly, Robert Johnson, and others in an attempt to establish a novel style of thinking about groups in communities and organizations. He first attended a Tavistock-style group relations conference in 2015. Follow him on X @thegrouplens.

Katie Yosha Scott-Childress, Senior Lay Student - ZMM - 12/29/25 - From Dogen's final teachings, a commentary on passages of the Parinirvana Sutra given before the Buddha died is offered by lay senior student Yosha. These teachings focus on what the Buddha himself said were the most essential aspects of what he taught. Rather than being abstract or distant, they speak directly to our ordinary yearnings and lived experience, encouraging us to stay close to the Dharma—through both study and practice—and to discover within that closeness a reliable source of guidance and refuge.

Breht speaks with veteran organizer, revolutionary strategist, Elder of the movement, and author Eric Mann. Together they discuss Eric's life and work, including his book on George Jackson, the Hard Hat riot against Vietnam protesters, how to organize effectively in the work place, Eric's personal relationship with Howard Zinn, the importance of revolutionary  journalism, combatting chauvinism, and SO much more. Check out Part One of Breht's discussion with Eric HERE Opening clip from Mother Country Radical podcast More Biography of Eric Mann: Eric Mann (born December 4, 1942) is a civil rights, anti-war, labor, and environmental organizer. He has worked with the Congress of Racial Equality, Newark Community Union Project, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Black Panther Party, the United Automobile Workers (including eight years on auto assembly lines) and the New Directions Movement. He was also active as a leader of SDS faction the Weathermen, which later became the militant left-wing organization Weather Underground. He was arrested in September 1969 for participation in a direct action against the Harvard Center for International Affairs and sentenced to two years in prison on charges of conspiracy to commit murder after two bullets were fired through a window of the Cambridge police headquarters on November 8, 1969. He was instrumental in the movement that helped to keep a General Motors assembly plant in Van Nuys, California open for ten years. Mann has been credited for helping to shape the environmental justice movement in the U.S. He founded the Labor/Community Strategy Center in Los Angeles, California and has been its director for 25 years. In addition, Mann is founder and co-chair of the Bus Riders Union, which sued the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for what it called "transit racism", resulting in a precedent-setting civil rights lawsuit, Labor Community Strategy Center et al. v. MTA. Mann is the author of books published by Beacon Press, Harper & Row and the University of California, which include Taking on General Motors; The Seven Components of Transformative Organizing Theory; and Playbook for Progressives: 16 Qualities of the Successful Organizer. He is known for his theory of transformative organizing and leadership of political movements and is acknowledged by many as an veteran organizer on the communist left. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/
