Leigh Ann was awesome! We all learned alot and I hope to have her come back to speak to our group in the future. Thanks again.

Traci Johnson
President, Women’s Council Of Realtors

Leigh Ann gave an interesting and informative presentation to the Nashville Women’s Council. We know that litigation is an expensive way to resolve disputes for real estate matters, divorce and many other issues. Leigh Ann explained how mediation is a more cost effective, efficient, and flexible way to handle conflicts. In addition, we learned that 40 to 60% of a typical manager’s time is spent resolving conflicts. Imagine what mediation could save to a typical corporation’s bottom line.
