COME TO THE IACP FORUM!! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!!!
PFI #1
Adapting Ourselves, and Our Process to Meet
Each Family's Needs
The future growth of Collaborative Practice will depend on our ability to adapt our process to meet the needs of each family as well as the evolving skills of the professionals involved. The focus of this workshop will be on discovering ways to assess the unique dynamics of each family by utilizing flexibility and adaptability, developing the most efficient and effective team composition, meeting structure, professional roles and responsibilities, and overall strategy for the process, in an effort to arrive at successful outcomes for the families we serve. We will also look at our own potential for adaptability and address some of the barriers that we may have that can, at times make us resistant to change. Join Ron Ousky, Esq. and Randy Heller, PhD for Pre-Forum learning and connecting on Thursday, October 27th. Engage in a day of exploration along with the development of insight into your own ability to stretch beyond your comfort zone, widen your lens, and allow yourself to see a multitude of possibilities where you thought there might only be limitations.

‎Financially Ever After: Navigating the Demands of Life and Starting 2022 in Balance on Apple Podcasts

I recently had a conversation with Stacy Francis, the host of the Financially Ever After, for an in-depth conversation on how to navigate the demands of life and start the new year in balance. One tip I share is on giving yourself permission to be the best you can, rather than being perfect. If you allow yourself a day or two where you don’t hold yourself to the ideal you, you can take that time to rest and recharge so you can resume meeting your personal expectations. You can listen to the full episode here

We need MHPs who would like to explore being a child specialist and we also need attorneys and a financial neutral.

Thoughts From San Diego
MCT - Thoughts From San Diego

I have awakened this morning with a full heart, a racing and inspired mind, and a smile on my face!

Kicked off by the generosity of MCT at the happy hour that they organized and provided on Friday evening, where the bar was filled with loving connections, wonderful (safe) hugs (I know that sounds like an oxymoron, however, I believe people were mindful and respectful of each other's comfort level), and the opportunity to expand on the relationships we have developed over the last 19 months of virtually connecting at the Friday MCT afternoon happy hours, the IACP Forum continued to build on that enthusiasm throughout the weekend!

From the absolutely lovely setting and extraordinary accommodations and venue to the inspirational plenary given by Rev. Nonttombi Tutu, an activist for human rights who grew up female and black in apartheid South Africa, I learned about the significance of personal responsibility in the process of forgiveness and healing. I also expanded on my understanding that through pain, we learn and we grow. To.my mind, this is the only path to inner and global peace. I was further inspired by Ron Ousky and Woody Mosten sharing their perspectives and wealth of knowledge on the 14 Habits of Highly Successful Collaborative Professionals. Each one of these principles could have been expanded into a workshop in and of themselves, and if their teaching is considered and implemented by all of us, Collaborative Practice can clearly be the way to transform the lives of those who cross our path with mindfulness, respect, and integrity. I also had the honor of presenting and demonstrating with a panel of my MCT colleagues (Robert Mellin, Christen Ritchey, Craig Fabrikant, plus FACP colleague Matt Thatcher, as well as my student, Shir Bensusan) on the considerations of ways we could possibly guide families where there have been incidents of Domestic Violence through Collaborative Practice, and in doing so, potentially transform the future of these families as well. Kevin Skudder and I also had the honor of presenting on Spreading the Word about Collaborative Practice to the Next Generation along with the IACP Higher Education Task Force with more MCT members and video appearances by none other than our own Mark Soboslai, and Robert Merlin, as well as David Hoffman and Christopher Arnold and his student, now a seasoned Collaborative attorney in Ottawa, Canada.

I don't think I can even describe the joy and energy that was experienced at the Saturday night dance party, sharing the dance floor with Stu Webb and his lovely wife, Ron Ousky, along with all of those so near and dear who we have missed for so long now, our own CarolAnn Mazza, Bob Merlin, and our newest member, Enid MillerPonn, just to name a few. If they are feeling anything like I am, their feet are still sore, but what a wonderful reminder of the wonderful time that we had!!

Then, for the closing plenary, last and certainly not least, the inspirational messages and takeaways we heard from Caroline Casey, the "Trickster" (as she referred to herself,) who taught us how to be "Agents of Cool Res[onders in a Hot reactive World." Once again, we learned about creating a vision for possibilities, opening our minds and thinking differently, while turning tragedy into triumph, resolving inner and interactional conflict with our hearts, minds, and words! We also did a fond farewell to our esteemed leaders Ann Tamar Mattis, our Executive Director and Ann Lucas, our immediate past President as we welcome our new leadership in Lori Gephart, our new President. I just know if she will pick up the ball and do great things!

Admittedly, I was a bit ambivalent in the midst of my excitement and enthusiasm to participate in person at this year's Forum. The IACP organization along with their amazingly diligent and dedicated staff could not have done a better job of making everyone feel welcomed in the safest environment possible during these times, and gathering for a highly organized, professional, and personal transformational experience! I thank them from my soul for all of the incredibly hard work that went into making that a reality!

We missed all of our colleagues near and far who could not make it this year, we pray for health, safety, and healing for all of us such that we can continue this momentum, entering our offices (virtually and in-person) with new energy and enthusiasm, knowledge and skill and look forward to gathering together next year in Orlando with all of our colleagues from all over the globe. Hope to see you there!
