Seven Visual Steps to Yes
Difficult Decisions, Mediations and Negotiations Made Easier
About this book
Adnan wants to build an in-law apartment for Sherrie's mother to live in. Sherrie wants no more mortgage debt. For vacation, Laura wants to hike Mount Katahdin to scatter her father's ashes and to lose baby-belly-weight. Caleb, her husband, wants to rest on Martha's Vineyard to recover from his exhausting work as environmental field engineer. You'll read many real life vignettes while learning the SEVEN VISUAL STEPS which are engaging, sometimes hilarious and always instructive. Knowledge Empowers. "For over 30 years I have been sending couples who desire divorce mediation, but who are in various stages of confusion and ambivalence, to Janet Miller Wiseman, as decision-making mediator, so she can help them decide the future directions of their marriages. After another successful result, I asked her what she did when I send people to her. "We discover when they need a divorce or something more fundamental. When a divorce is what is needed, I send them back to you for divorce mediation" was her wise reply. —John Adams Fiske, Attorney, Cambridge, MA. "In the case of Bill and Sally, in the book, we were able to provide knowledge and clarity for the parties in the framework of the Seven Visual Steps, thereby addressing their deepest fears, and allowing them to reach mutually agreeable terms. Janet's book should be read by everyone searching for a tried and true method of negotiation and decision-making." —Chris Chen, CDFA, CFP, Insight Financial Strategists, Arlington, MA.
