Dear Clients and Friends,
International conflicts provide a highly effective laboratory to extract profound lessons about negotiation and dispute resolution that can be successfully applied to corporate, organizational and individual negotiations. With that in mind, below is my opinion piece published in the Jerusalem Post which presents a new approach to the old Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Middle East.
Should you have an interest in tools for resolving disputes, listen here to a podcast in which I am interviewed about my favorite dispute resolution tools.
If you prefer videos, please visit our newly launched YouTube channel and subscribe. This channel provides exclusively informative and instructional content relating to negotiation, communication and dispute resolution.
Whether through the written word, audio podcasts or visual videos, I look most forward to further engagement with you!
With Best Wishes,
Raphael
