Collaborative Negotiations
How are negotiations usually conducted? Each party starts by requesting the best outcome they want and in a process of push, shove and compromise, they retreat from their ideal solution in order to find the point of agreement. It is an adversarial process. It is as if the market economy rationale has penetrated our way…

Quô Vâdis Democracy?
I was in Mexico during their presidential debates. The elections were held on the first of July 2018. The debates were disturbing for me to watch. The American presidential elections were disturbing as well and for the same reasons. In Mexico, the debates were hardly about substance, about what might be the right strategy for…

Macedonia Changes its Name
It appears that after twenty-seven years, the conflict between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia over the latter country’s name will be settled if the referendum passes: what was the Republic of Macedonia will now be known as Northern Macedonia. I have been involved in efforts to resolve this conflict since 1991. I was shuttling…

My Biggest Challenge
My biggest challenge is to practice what I preach. My whole life was dedicated to developing, documenting, and training others to practice mutual trust and respect. And that means first and foremost, accepting other people’s differences. This is very easy to understand but bloody difficult to practice. People annoy me when they think, act, or…

The Meaning of Life – A Special Video Blog
The meaning of life, what an incredible title. It could have several meanings. Explanation: what life is about, what life should be about, and what we want life to be about. They are not the same. Most people I know suffer because what they do in their life is not what they want to do,…

My Take on the Immigration Debate
I do not doubt that there are honest, hard-working immigrants who have arrived in the United States illegally. President Trump, in his usual style, is exaggerating: not all undocumented South American immigrants are criminals. If we were to stop these honest people from immigrating, we would be shooting ourselves in the foot. Our agriculture would…

Appraising the Newly Elected President of Mexico
Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has been elected President of Mexico. He had run for president twice before and failed. This time, he succeeded with over fifty percent of the vote, double the votes of the runner-up. Why? Here is my analysis. As I have written in another blog post (“The Demise of Democracy”), the…

A Suggestion for Mexico
In 2000, I consulted to the elected president of Mexico at the time, Vicente Fox. We worked for nine uninterrupted days, sequestered on a ranch that Cortez had once given his Mexican lover as a present. I did a Syndag of the country with his transaction team. Unfortunately, not much has been done in light…

Third Report: World Cup, Mexico and More
The Mexico / Sweden game... It was a critical game. If Mexico loses and Germany beats South Korea (I can’t imagine it not happening that way) Mexico is out. Size matters... or maybe not. The Swedish Vikings are almost fifty percent taller than the Mexican team. More powerful. And they play better. When Sweden…
