From a professional point of view, Michael’s emphasis on the User of mediation services and concrete ideas of how to actualize mediation as a profession drew immediate attention not only from me but from my employer Shell who became a sponsor of IMI for decades as a result of Michael’s inspiration and spot on foresight. Personally, Michael’s unwavering mentorship not only of myself but of countless others on all sorts of career paths speaks volumes about his selflessness and his devotion to a higher purpose than the simple treadmill that most of us find ourselves on. Michael never minded differences of opinion — it was the discourse itself that was the ultimate objective to arrive at a point that was much more diverse, inclusive and comprehensive than the singular thought.
Whatever I write here feels greatly insufficient. Thank you Michael for showing us all how to be better humans. I will miss my friend dearly.
