Certified Mediator

I recently had the opportunity to fulfill a five-year desire. The first time I heard about mediation training, I knew I wanted to become a mediator. Off and on, for several years, I would see articles or advertisements for mediation training. About three years ago I did some serious investigation and got closer than ever to finding a place to receive training.

About six months ago, I happened on an email about a mediation training in Texas. I investigated the company thoroughly and chose the course of training for me. Before enrolling, I called an attorney friend to let her share in my excitement. In the course of a couple of days, she suggested that might not be the best course of action for my goals. I listened to her counsel and decided to forgo that training.

A few weeks later, she sent me an email about two training courses here in Louisiana. As I researched this particular mediation training firm, I discovered this training would allow me to become certified by the Louisiana State Bar Association-ADR Section. I enrolled in both courses of training. I am so happy I decided to wait. Now I have the opportunity to be on the official registry of Certified Mediators in Louisiana. This time, it proves the old saying … “good things come to those who wait”.

Michael exhibited the highest integrity and character at all times, supplied Christ-like leadership in every aspect of our church, and put us back on track.

Ben ThomasTeam Leader

It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Michael Stewart and RMStewart Consulting. Mr. Stewart provided a Leadership Team Development event for our team. The Real You personality assessment tool and discussion of the four personality types was a topic of conversation many days following the training. It made our group more aware of the personality of their co-workers and seems to have reduced conflict and increased communication. We will use Mr. Stewart in the future to continue our progress toward the best school system we can be.

Marlin RamseyAssistant Superintendent

Michael's The Real You personality inventory and leadership presentation helped us learn much more about ourselves and how to communicate more effectively as a team. His presentation on “Next-Level Teamwork” was invaluable for a church leadership retreat. I highly recommend RMStewart Consulting for your team or leadership development event.
