The solo ADR practice can be at once a highly social line of work due to interactions with clients, and a lonely existence without the day-to-day affiliations of a typical workplace. The confidentiality required of ADR professionals can exacerbate the isolation.

In this episode facilitated by Amanda Bucklow, Jeff Thompson and Tammy Lenski discuss their own experiences with isolation and loss of affiliation in their solo practices, what surprised them, how they dealt with it, and what they learned about themselves in the process.
