Barb North's Great Big Fat Reality TV Mediation Screen Test

By Victoria Pynchon

This is a great discussion of mediation by local mediator Barb North -- another screen test for the mediation reality television show that will likely never become a reality because . .  . . I understand the producers are having trouble convening!

The 411 on Barb below.

Barb North has worked as a mediator and negotiator for over fifteen years, and has designed and delivered more than 2,500 trainings in such areas as Conflict Resolution, Mediation, Communications Skills, Acting, Couples Communication, Improvisational Theater, Speaker's Skills and Stand-Up Comedy.

She is the shorter half of the Comedy Team of Barb and Steve North. In addition to training and mediation, Barb has been a Comedian/Performer/ Writer/Producer with her husband, Steve for over 25 years. This background explains her unique ability to present trainings, give talks, conduct seminars, facilitate events, act as an MC or appear as a talk show guest AND incorporate an entertaining spin into the content. Her presentations are fun, informative, and funny.

Barb has designed and implemented custom conflict management programs for numerous organizations and businesses, including extensive work with the National Organization of Girl Scouts of the USA and individual Girl Scout Councils throughout the country, Los Angeles County, Voluntary Mediation Services, the EEOC, Girl Scouts of the USA and the NASD. She has written and produced corporate training films, led seminars, retreats and facilitated group discussions.
