WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
As 2019 Mediator of the Year I look forward to sharing some insights into my life and passion for assisting people in conflict to move forward and resolve some issues. Finding common ground and a better way forward is not easy as the world has become much more complicated and stressful.

I try to stay focused and always stay positive and hopeful. To this end I have written my first book of poetry Storm Clouds and Silver Linings-My Journey: www.tomstodulkaauthor.com

My second book is due to be out before Easter and will be titled Life is a Dance-Some Thoughts of a Peace Maker.

In addition to reading some of my poems I will discuss some skills used in mediation and how the process and one’s inner heart and soul can make a good mix in my work.
