    As a professional who has been involved in dispute resolution for over 30 years, the most important learning experience I have ever had was my week with Roger in 1989. There are very few weeks that go by that I don't apply something that he taught me. I treasure my autographed copy of Getting to Yes and keep an electronic copy with me on my Ipad. An yes he tried to change the world in many significant ways, but he also taught alot of us to make change as well. An outstanding testiment to an outstanding man. Reply

    Like most people I was first introduced to Roger’s work through Getting To Yes. Later I was fortunate enough to attend the PON seminar in 2004 and regularly revisit my notes. There is not a day that goes by that I do not apply the ideas and principles from PON. Along the way I discovered that while these tactics worked well in my professional settings the real value wass when I learned to use them at home with my wife and children. I think it even made my relationship with my dog better! My life is better because of what Roger was able to identify and share with me and others. Thank you Roger! You may be gone but your lessons will be handed down through the generations. Reply

    Few people have such a broad impact on the world as Mr. Fisher's. His teachings allowed people to see the art of negotiation from an entirely new and more productive perspective. May he rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in this time of sorrow. Reply

    Sad news about Roger Fisher. I still remember the day I purchased and read "Getting to Yes." His book changed my perspective on the skill of negotiating. My thoughts to his family. Reply

    This was interesting to have all these men together, discussing the genesis of the program and their viewpoints coming into it. Even today, this theory on negotiation developed at PON is a new concept to so many. The opportunity to share it is immense as is the responsibility to do such. Reply

    So sorry to hear of Roger's passing. Having only been introduced to him in the last few months leading up to my first course at PON, I felt like I knew him from the video course material, alone. Steady, focussed and surgical, his understanding and execution of negotiation techniques was indeed remarkable. Be it some consolation to his family at home and at Harvard, that he had such a positive influence on so many people and lived such a rewarding life. All the best from Newfoundland... Reply

    I feel very lucky to have atended the Negatiation Workshop in 1996 conducted by Roger Fisher. I was impressed and inspired by his intelectual vitality and his passion for dialogue among people. I am sure his contribution for a better understanding of a peaceful environment will last forever. Jeanne Machado, from Brazil Reply

    The recent passing of Roger Fisher is a great loss. That said, his work and the ground-breaking gem, Getting to Yes, will stand as a lasting legacy to inspire further work in dispute resolution around the world. Condolences to Professor Fisher's family and friends from Sydney Australia and indeed, people of good will around the world. Reply

    I came upon "Getting to Yes" many years ago,and was reintroduced to PON once again at Seneca College, Accelerated Paralegal Program '12. Amazing-Such a simple workable concept can achieve great positive results. A must read for everyone of all ages! Roger Fisher, a great legendary Peacemaker. Condolences to his family. May he Rest in Peace. Reply

    Just read of the passing of Professor Fisher. Certainly for me, the PON is something that enriches both my personal and professional life. I will always keep the Professor in my thoughts when I have the opportunity to Mediate disputes. Reply

    Dr. Roger Fisher had a big impact on my international business training, consulting and education. I personally visited Harvard Negotiation Program while I was a UMASS Ph. D. Fellow at Harvard-Yenching Institute during 1996-1998 and have been following the research ever since Reply
