Thank you for posting these listings.

I believe that knowing they are scheduled is very useful. I also believe that events posted on "neutral" sites should provide only factual information regarding the event for potential registrants.

As a result, might I suggest that in future listings, testimonials (or negative comments) be eliminated?

Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Madonik

Barbara,
thanks for the comments. I purposely added the comments as this is not a neutral posting (hence it being under my name and not posted as ADRhub).

ADRhub is not designed to be simply a 'neutral' place for information but rather a place to find news, events and also opinions. Not only just for people to get this information but also to share it as well. That is the community mindset i had in mind when this site was developed with the Werner Institute.

Using my post as an example of how I mentioned Safe Horizon and how I was trained there and might go to their divorce training- this I feel adds to potential discussion.

People can now post asking me about it knowing I was trained there. If someone had an issue with one of the places, they can also feel free to post that as well.

There are places and times for neutral postings here at the site. Again, you will won't see the user name ADRhub having posts like this as that is neutral and intended as so.

If things were all neutral all the time, it would be way too dull, right? :)

Lol, he knows though, I could be off though with my perspective and/or approach. What do you think Barbara? Anyone else have comments?

Thanks for this clarification, Jeff. I thought that all training listings posted in this area were supposed to be like tacking up a training calendar on a virtual bulletin board. My error. I apologize. Barbara
