Why would the keynote speaker at a national mediation conference need a full-time security guard? Kent Foxe, an aspiring mediator and executive coach, finds out why when he turns to his mentor, Adam Maurie, for professional advice. Maurie believes mediators must have "a human soul that is comfortable being with difficult, emotional conflict." That requirement, Kent soon realizes, is highly controversial.
