Acknowledgments
The Conflict Transformation process described in this book is an alignment of specific skills that I have learned and practiced in my career as a mediator, group facilitator, business project team builder, organizational consultant, and litigation attorney. I have discovered that application of Active Listening, Dialogue, and Win Win Conflict Replacement in this order can help parties make the transition from anger, hate, and separation to mutual understanding, then to reconciliation, healing, and to partnership. Then, Project Management skills and Partnering Teambuilding can be utilized to help parties develop sustainable, measurable solutions to conflicted issues and implement those solutions on time/on budget.
I have been inspired by the dedication to public service of my parents, Captain Benjamin H. Fisher, U.S.N. and LTJG Ann Palmer Tracy Fisher, U.S.N., of Honorable William S. Sessions, Chief Judge of the U. S. District Court for the Western District of Texas and Director of the F.B.I. for whom I served as his first Federal Judicial Law Clerk, of Honorable William H. Webster, Judge of
