It is always nice to hear a kind word! Our mediators work hard to produce those results, and the reason our system works is their skill and dedication. <br /><br />I blogged in August, that there is power in conversation, in a phone call or at the workers' compensation office. If more people listened, and stated their own position while others really listened, many of our disputes could be resolved. <br />Judge Langhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867148388849273174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-59402781596280874952013-09-19T04:34:18.844-07:002013-09-19T04:34:18.844-07:00If I took the conversations and if I took the talk...If I took the conversations and if I took the talk out of what I do, then there would be no reason to turn up for work. I need to know what is going on in the lives of the injured workers, I need to know where the minute stumbling blocks are, I need to know what things can be removed without concern and what needs to be replaced with a brand new concept.<br />It is only by seemingly surface level chats that I discover what it is that I need to have so I can make the lives of injured workers better, then I can work on the trust required to build a better outcome.<br />I am told by many that what I do takes time and that it doesn't fit into the mainstream of workers compensation.<br />None of that matters to me, what matters is seeing a injured worker become all that they aim for, and then continue to build on the base belief that was discovered when we first sat down to talk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898913710827618398noreply@blogger.com
