Refresh, Rebuild, Refine Essential Collaborative Skills – And Meet Our Symposium “Couple”! Wednesday, February 11, 2026 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM – SOCIAL 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM – PRESENTATION Zoom February’s monthly 90-minute meeting will introduce Sam and Jesse, our hypothetical Spring Symposium couple and offer an opportunity to refresh, rebuild and refine four specific must-have Collaborative skills. Attendees will have a chance to observe these skills in action and then dissect and discuss the way these skills can be put to use most effectively. The April Symposium – “A Collaborative Immersive Experience” – will offer our community a day-long opportunity to work in teams on a simulated case with a hypothetical divorcing couple on April 17. Participants will benefit from the February program whether or not they plan to attend the Symposium, and professionals who attend the Symposium without having attended the February program will be at no disadvantage at all. (Think of February as a bonus presentation – not at all a pre-requisite.) The 4 skills we will be focusing on are: 1: Deeply curious and empathic questioning 2: “Holding Both” (Maintaining neutrality while honoring two conflicting perspectives.) 3: Making links to expand clients’ viewpoints 4: Employing metaphors and tropes – Please note: This meeting will be conducted by Zoom. Please contact the DCACP Adminstrator at DCACP.office@gmail.com for more meeting information. Kindly submit an RSVP below to record your attendance. – Read More

Be the Tree: How to Remain Grounded When Pulled to Align in Collaborative Case Presented by: Cynthia Radomsky, Esq. and Sue Soler, LCSW-C, LICSW Wednesday, March 11, 2026 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Google | Outlook | Office365 | Yahoo Maggiano’s – Chevy Chase We all regularly feel the pull to align with our clients and help them get what they want. It doesn’t matter who is on the team, what the substantive issues are, your level of experience or who the clients are. It happens constantly and it is hard to resist and manage. Instead of feeling shame, powerless and afraid to talk to the team about this, we want the community to normalize this experience and openly talk about why this happens and why it is so challenging to address. This program will be a step in that direction while also offering practical tips that we hope will make you feel more equipped to handle this issue in your cases moving forward. Read More

Necessary and Difficult Conversations: “If Only My Client and My Team Had Understood This from the Start” – Conversations That Can Pave the Way Forward Presented by: Jen Bradley, Esq., Lisa Herrick, PhD, and Steve Weisbaum, Esq. Wednesday, May 13, 2026 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Google | Outlook | Office365 | Yahoo Maggiano’s – Chevy Chase In any Collaborative process, we navigate through notably challenging moments when we wish we had done more preparation with our clients and our team at the outset that might have eased our way through this particular difficulty. “Why is my client surprised that Collaborative doesn’t mean warm and fuzzy? Did we say it would all be easy?” “Why doesn’t my client realize that arguing about the protocols makes everything slower and more costly?” “How is it that my client is angry that compromises are required- by BOTH sides- not just the OTHER side? Wasn’t that obvious?” “Why does my collaborative counsel champion their client’s narrative or positions, or substitute their own judgment for that of their client?” “Why does my collaborative counsel default to the law as the primary/ultimate reference point?” “How can the team address these problems as a group when they arise, and how can professionals identify and address these issues in ourselves?” “How do I give my client and my colleagues this difficult feedback, and how do I receive this difficult feedback, while ensuring they still feel I am on their side, our team still feels like a team, and our collaborative container still feels like a safe place? I wish I had gotten their permission to give them feedback as needed!” These are just some examples of the kinds of moments when we might wish we had had certain conversations with our clients and our team early on. This program will focus on what sorts of necessary conversations might facilitate our work when we hit snags later – whether we are attorneys, coaches or financial neutrals. We will also discuss how, when and with whom we can have these necessary conversations, and how teammates of different disciplines can support one another in helping our shared clients feel as well prepared for the process as possible.
