Hi @CrossCountryUK my daughter needs help! In chaos of busy train today (EDINBURGH (09:06) - > PLYMOUTH (arr 17:47) she left navy blue shoulder bag on coach D (behind seats @ end of coach by luggage rack) when she got off at Ch/field. Could you check if it’s there and keep safe?
What a great example this is of a professional person acting on the pledge to reduce the carbon footprint of what they do. A fine example to us all. Please read this and ask: what can I also do? #mediatorsgreenpledge lnkd.in/eincET83
“It’s all about trust, isn’t it?” observed my assistant mediator in a recent mediation - and indeed it so often is. Read why "A ‘high trust’ economy will be more productive" #trust #mediation @davidhumeinst lnkd.in/eDXXY6mN
It was a privilege to participate in this event. Now, what does it mean in practice? Can we actually implement the ideas which will support creating a more trusting economy? A follow up article in The Scotsman: lnkd.in/eYgSimui lnkd.in/esDVsX2j
#PoachersPilgrimage Still one of the finest books of its type - thought-provoking, deep, moving, essential reading, from one of Scotland’s most important thinkers and writers @alastairmci
If you’ve got the earlier edition of #PoachersPilgrimage all that’s changed is a new cover, subtitle and a new Foreword of which a PDF is online at: alastairmcintosh.com/poacher…
And the new book from @scotlit - see the contents pages here - is just £19.95 at: asls.org.uk/publications/boo…
This, as always with @JoBerry9, is a must watch. If only all our politicians could hear this and act on it #Peace

Read my article in today's Scotsman. How sharing can help develop better practice. @MediationClinic @CharlieIrvine @strathlaw @Coremediation scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…
Some thoughts, drawing on experience in conflict resolution, expressed in an imaginary letter to the new First Minister of Scotland! Food for thought… lnkd.in/d-H8NtEE
Please support this worthy cause - a great effort by Michael on behalf of Epilepsy Scotland
✅🏊♂️day 26/28 of my double marathon swim to raise money for @epilepsy_scot complete!
📍That’s the distance between my house in Edinburgh & the Epilepsy Scotland office in Glasgow, working out at about 3km (122 lengths) every day for 28 days ahead of #PurpleDay 😮💨
Any donations welcome! justgiving.com/page/michael-…
This marks a potentially really important change in the widespread acceptance of mediation. Can we follow this path in Scotland? #mediationworks lnkd.in/eus5jTDY
Grow the Pie - I like to think that, for over 20 years, Core has had a purpose beyond merely generating revenue. This short video with Alex Edmans captures the idea of purpose and profit for businesses really well. Worth a watch. lnkd.in/eT677kTr
A few thoughts in The Times about the current UK/EU negotiations, earlier unsatisfactory Brexit negotiations and what an incoming First Minister might do to build a better negotiating strategy:
lnkd.in/eGdDC5bR:
"It is estimated that commercial mediation can save businesses around £5.9 billion per year in management time, damaged relationships, lost productivity, and legal fees. In February 2023, the value of UK mediated cases each year was estimated at approxima…lnkd.in/eU4NWFuk
This is worth a read and some contemplation! lnkd.in/eJHak2xD
Please support @MichaelSturrock if you can - and watch the short video too. It’s a good cause and a big challenge to complete in support of @epilepsy_scot #veryproud
🏊♂️I’m swimming 122 lengths a day—totalling a double marathon—in 28 days leading up to #PurpleDay to raise money for @epilepsy_scot.
🟣As someone with #epilepsy & involved with ES, I see first hand the incredible work they do for people with epilepsy & their loved ones...1/
Very proud of Michael Sturrock, who is fundraising for Epilepsy Scotland justgiving.com/page/michael-…
"It's not just about the money." The importance of really listening in pay talks - and in other difficult situations. #listening lnkd.in/eR6vXQSi
