One step at a time!!!!

I had occasion to assist a former client in getting a certified copy of a court document she needed. She had utilized the collaborative process in early 2007. So there was time for her reflection on the process and how it works. We discussed how the collaborative process was assisting her and her former spouse with the raising of their precious child. I complimented this wonderful woman, stating how impressed I was that she and her former spouse were doing things differently in resolving their conflicts. What a gift to give your child!!!! I told this client she should pat herself on the back---that her one step at a time in negotiating/resolving her conflicts with her spouse is just the beginning of raising awareness that conflict can be reached at the negotiating table, not in the battle arena.
