The path to agreement can only be walked in each other’s shoes.
Experience a better
way of resolving conflict
Mediation is not just a mechanism for resolving disputes, it’s a holistic approach to managing conflict.
When the mediation process works to its full potential, the participants leave with more than just an actionable agreement about their current dispute, they are also empowered with new tools and knowledge to help them better manage all manner of future conflicts either between themselves or with others.

When should I use Mediation
Conflict is all around us in the modern world. At work, at home and most of the places in between.
Conflict at work can sometimes be constructive, like when it leads to more creative thinking or challenges aging business processes, but more often than not conflict at work is not constructive Generally you just get on with your day-job and if you have to deal with difficult people, either internal or external to your company, then that’s just part of doing business….right?
That’s not entirely true. Dealing with conflict is certainly part of doing business, but if it is not managed effectively then it can become counterproductive and damaging for everyone involved.

Why should I choose mediation to address conflict?
In a nutshell the answer comes down to an appreciation of how mediation focuses on the disputing parties’ interests rather than their positions. Every conflict and dispute is deeper and has more meaning to the parties than just the surface positions which they each each adopt. If all you do to try and resolve your dispute is negotiate back and forwards about where the “middle ground” compromise between the two positions should be, then you will never address the underlying issues or truly resolve the dispute at all. You may even miss the opportunity for a win-win outcome from the dispute.
The most intense conflicts, if overcome,
leave a sense of security and calm
that is not easily disturbed.
