"The best resolutions rarely begin with having all the answers. They begin with asking better questions."
When I founded PowerHouse, I wanted to build more than a mediation practice. I wanted to create a place where experienced professionals could collaborate, share ideas, and help others navigate conflict with greater confidence. Every case, every conversation, and every educational program continues to reinforce that vision.
PowerHouse Insights is an extension of that commitment. It's where I share practical lessons from mediation, arbitration, trial consulting, communication, and leadership— ideas designed to help lawyers, judges, businesses, and decision-makers think more strategically and resolve disputes more effectively.
