In
this
episode,
I
welcome
Joann
Selleck,
a
mediator
from
Selleck
Mediation,
to
talk
about
the
ins
and
outs
of
being
a
mediation
professional.
Joann
narrates
how
she
came
into
the
practice
area.
She
cites
the
qualities
a
person
should
have
to
be
a
facilitator,
as
well
as
why
people
are
handling
litigations
differently.
Joann
also
describes
what
challenges
specific
to
the
mediation
practice
she
faced,
as
well
as
the
greatest
accomplishments
she
had
in
her
career.
The
Jabot
podcast
is
an
offshoot
of
the
Above
the
Law
brand
focused
on
the
challenges
women,
people
of
color,
LGBTQIA,
and
other
diverse
populations
face
in
the
legal
industry.
Our
name
comes
from
none
other
than
the
Notorious
Ruth
Bader
Ginsburg
and
the
jabot
(decorative
collar)
she
wore
when
delivering
dissents
from
the
bench.
It’s
a
reminder
that
even
when
we
aren’t
winning,
we’re
still
a
powerful
force
to
be
reckoned
with.
Happy
listening!
