Blog posts relating to my N2N internship

August 6- Competency and Compliments

August 8, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

Today I had my mid-internship review with Kevin at N2N.  I was looking forward to the feedback and excited to hear what Kevin had to share.  I feel like we have developed a strong working relationship relatively quickly.  I like Kevin's laid back style, he is well connected with the broader Oregon mediation community, and … Continue reading August 6- Competency and Compliments

August 7- Whirlwinds

August 7, 2014August 8, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N, NPCC

I feel like this summer has already been super busy but the next few weeks are going to be absolutely absurd.  I met with Shannon today to start working on more details for the RAC Summit.  I feel good about how things will go for the pop-up sessions and I feel like I've gained her … Continue reading August 7- Whirlwinds

July 29-30: Materials Preparations

August 7, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

Since I wrapped up the mailings for the Manufactured Home Communities last week I spent time this week "finalizing" our workshop materials.  This includes our PPT, facilitators' agenda, and participant handbook.  I feel like I've already spent a TON of time on this project and it's feeling a bit never-ending.  It reminds me of teaching … Continue reading July 29-30: Materials Preparations

July 22-23- Adaptability and Assertiveness

August 7, 2014August 7, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

This week I finally felt like we had the pieces in place to reach out to the local Manufactured Home Communities.  I was still annoyed that we didn't have the flyers with pull tabs printed but all the other materials we had created were ready.  When I arrived at N2N I was surprised to find … Continue reading July 22-23- Adaptability and Assertiveness

July 10- Courage and Realism

July 10, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

Today I made my first phone call to officially open a case for mediation.  I had assumed I would be working under the guidance of a more skilled mediator (and I will be) but today he suggested that I call the first party.  I was surprised just how nervous I felt as I called the … Continue reading July 10- Courage and Realism

July 3- Momentum and Fizzle

July 10, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

I'm was really excited about all the progress I had made with getting things set up for N2N workshops this week until...we had to talk to "the big boss" to get approval for all our plans. However supportive, the plans I had been working on all week were largely changed and I felt SUPER frustrated. … Continue reading July 3- Momentum and Fizzle

June 27- Focused Work and Progress Made

July 1, 2014July 1, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

This was a busy week for N2N!  I met with Kevin again to clarify responsibilities for my work with N2N and make a list of concrete tasks.  Within two days, I had already made significant progress on those tasks and I was excited to see how they turned out.  I was grateful to pull on … Continue reading June 27- Focused Work and Progress Made

June 13- No Agreement and Dangerous Small Talk

July 1, 2014July 1, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

This week was a funny one in the Small Claims world.  I was all set to observe another mediation but then the parties reached an impasse over a procedural detail before we could even get started.  It seemed like a real pity that they couldn't come to agreement on that small issue but perhaps that … Continue reading June 13- No Agreement and Dangerous Small Talk

June 5- Gearing up

July 1, 2014 by Carrie Bennett, posted in N2N

It seems like this whole spring/summer has been an iterative process of gearing up for work that will happen later.  This week I met with Wendy Kinkaid (CRES Cohort 8) to hear more about her work volunteering with N2N.  Kevin joined our meeting and we used the time to brainstorm future needs of N2N and … Continue reading June 5- Gearing up
