MEDIATE:
Resolving and transforming conflicts, strengthening relationships, and leveraging the highest potential
People look to mediation for various reasons. There may be a need or desire to exercise their own choices, regain a sense of control, participate in the decision making process, be directly involved in problem solving, work creatively with complex problems, overcome communication barriers, express what is meaningful to them, identify and give voice to their interests and needs, maintain privacy and confidentiality, restore or strengthen their relationships, and save time or money. Mediation also helps parties to better understand legal and factual issues.
It is important to recognize that facing and going through conflict can be difficult work. Being motivated and having the intention and willingness to participate in the process is very helpful. However, these aspects can be obscured by the conflict. In fact, it is quite commonly the case. Part of my role, as mediator, is to help make them explicit for you. I adhere at all times to the highest standards of integrity, confidentiality and ethics; work with transparency to earn the trust and respect of stakeholders, colleagues and peers; and thrive in multicultural environments where diversity is the springboard for insight, generative dialogue, and innovation. |
"To see the whole truth, you must not be in a state of conflict between
“what is” and a motivation as to “what should be”. What should be is always an illusion, which prevents you from looking at what is … Conflict fragments the mind, and is therefore incompatible with a state of understanding, in which the mind sees a totality." David Bohm American theoretical physicist |
