Just returned to HK from the National Mediation Conference in Canberra. My first trip to the capital city was fabulous. The NMC was a wonderful opportunity to listen and share with other mediators about their professional work and also their experiences in the trenches. Many new ideas for me to consider how I can incorporate into my practice and many shared conversations about mediation work. Great to see old friends and meet new ones. I was able to present two papers on the impact of time perception on negotiation and also UNCITRAL's Singapore Convention.
Thank you Canberra for providing a superb backdrop to the NMC. Although I enjoyed everything about my Canberra experience I was unprepared for how moved I was by the Old Parliament building which now houses the Museum of Australian Democracy. From the rose gardens created for members to socialise in to the displays about the 1967 referendum I found being there profoundly moving. It also reinforced for me how important it is to stay focused and keep hopeful.
