Season 2, Episode 19: Selecting a Mediator with Winter Wheeler

Notes To My (Legal) Self

Winter Wheeler is a former top civil litigator who has made her niche as an expert mediator. She is sought out for her unique, compassionate, and successful style handling complex matters that involve a diverse range of cultures, including Spanish speaking clients.

Most recently, Winter was a senior attorney at a prominent law firm, and it’s this extensive body of experience she brings into her current mediation practice that makes her work stand out. A graduate of Georgetown University and Tulane Law School, Winter has always combined her passions for culture, diplomacy, and the law.

Winter is the creator of The Four Cornerstones of Mediation™, which she introduced to the world in her first TEDx talk in March 2021. She is co-author of the bestselling book, #Networked. She is also creator and host of The Mediate Now™ podcast.

This podcast will discuss the changing face of mediation and how the industry is trying to keep up with the changing demographics of the United States. Most mediators are retired, judges, male, and white. We need to be sure that the parties involved in these lawsuits feel fully supported by their mediators. The Four Cornerstones of Mediation™ will help any mediator be certain to meet their clients where they need to be met. Additionally, the Four Cornerstones can apply to all human interaction and conversation.
