Mediate Your Life (MYL), a personal growth training company based on the teachings of Nonviolent Communication, presents a contest to win a free weekend workshop in 2013. Entries include a written statement and a photograph, and they must be submitted by January 15.

Upcoming New England workshops are listed at MediateYourLife.com/workshops and include such topics as Family Bonding and How To Talk So Your Doctor Will Listen (And You Both Get Heard). The foundational workshop, Mediate Your Life, yielded the company’s name. "When you mediate your life, you become more effective in everything you do and find that you can handle any sort of conflict, including internal ones.” says MYL communications leader Mary Sitze. “You don't have to be a professional mediator to learn these valuable communication and conflict resolution techniques.”

The company is inviting contest entrants to finish the sentence, “When you Mediate Your Life, you…” Anyone who submits an answer and photo is entered in the drawing to win a weekend workshop worth more than $200. Details on the submission process can be found at MediateYourLife.com/blog/2012/11/20/win-a-weekend-workshop-raffle.

“Our participants often share examples of how MYL’s programs have changed them,” says Sitze. “So the raffle not only celebrates the company’s new name, it also celebrates a community of learning.”
