CDT President’s Letter – November 2022

November 14, 2022 By Rhonda Cleaves

We say this every year – it’s hard to believe it’s November already! And yet, it’s here. We are all busy. Busy with clients who want to finish their cases before the end of the year. Busy with all things that come with the holiday season that we are almost knee-deep in. But the need to spread the word about the existence and benefits of Collaborative does not take a break during this time.

Practice Tip – How To Effectively Debrief A Collaborative Joint Meeting

September 7, 2022 By Rhonda Cleaves

As Collaborative professionals, we have talked the talk for many years. We have said we need to debrief after each of our Collaborative joint meetings to learn and become better Collaborative professionals. But how many of us walk that walk? How many debrief sessions have you been in where the professionals talked about what the clients did or didn’t do instead of what the professionals did or didn’t do? If we’re going to become better Collaborative professionals, we need to change that. We need … [Read more...]

CDT President’s Letter – August 2022

August 15, 2022 By Rhonda Cleaves

How is it August already? Many of us just attended the annual Advanced Family Law Conference, some of us skipped it and went on vacation, some of us dropped kids off at college, and others dropped theirs off in the carpool line. Time to work! Last month, I did my best to remind everyone about our amazing Collaborative village. And I shared that if we don’t all work together, our village is going to get smaller and eventually become extinct. So, what can YOU do to help keep this movement … [Read more...]
