Mediation Locations and Available Amenities

I typically mediate at the Greenway Mediation Center. It offers wireless Internet connections, teleconferencing capabilities, free parking and is convenient to anywhere in the Houston metropolitan area.

Because I place a high value on the working lunch, I make a commitment to the participants that I will provide choices well beyond the simple ham sandwich and potato chips. I firmly believe that the overall moods of the participants are adversely affected when the food provided is not satisfying.

As a result, I offer the parties choices of salads and entrees from several of Houston's finest restaurants, including Grotto, the Ragin' Cajun, Berryhill's Tamales, Polo's Signature, and P. F. Chang's.

Once the mediation has been scheduled, the party in charge of scheduling the mediation has the right to select the restaurant from which lunch will be ordered. I will provide the selecting party with a copy of the abbreviated menus so that they can make an informed decision as to which restaurant will provide lunch.

In addition to the snacks provided by the mediation center, I may also bring additional food, including homemade scones, cookies, brownies or other baked goods. As with lunch, these items are offered to make the parties more comfortable. Something as simple as a blueberry scone may improve someone's overall outlook. If that makes him slightly more amenable to resolving a dispute, it is worth the effort of adding flour, water and sugar together to make dough and baking it for ten to twelve minutes until lightly browned.

“The way to a man's heart may be through his stomach. However, the way to increase the odds of settling a dispute is through increasing the choices available to put in his stomach.”
