Co-parenting is the hardest relationship in the world.
Building the tools and developing stronger ways of managing difficult relationships may well turn out to be the best investment you ever make.
We all need a mediator sometimes. When you are personally prepared, you will make managing disputes for yourself and others look easy.
Mediation is the only form of Assisted Dispute Engagement (ADE) (Mediation, arbitration, litigation) where the freedom to decide is a defining quality.
If the people don't decide, it's not mediation.
Rapid: What can be accomplished can be accomplished faster, if the mediator is skilled enough.
Teleological mediation is defined by the the service it delivers, not by process.
Dialectic mediation harnesses the creative power of opposing forces by coalescing multiple truths into a coherent synthesis of co-maximized benefits.
Agreement Creation: A clear Definition of Success is a vital component of future-focused accomplishments. Mediated Agreements provide fresh starts & new beginnings.
Every mediation is a conflict engagement workshop...
like a cooking class for agreements.

Concord Communication
Mediation is: voluntary assisted negotiation.
Mediation is freedom.
Mediation is interpersonal empowerment skills-building.
Mediation is the world's best hope, because we currently remain a conflict-ignorant species.
Healthy conflict is natural part of life.
Conflict can be frozen, ripened, contoured, mitigated, managed, or resolved.
A great mediator does more than add it all up & whack it in half.
A great mediator is a guide, a coach, an educator, and a negotiator of acumen.
TIPS
1. To get creative, get curious.
2. Words matter. Don't get pinned by a false dichotomy (a restricted choice).
3. Remember OPS: Organize + Prioritize +Strategize.
"Sometimes, when you find mediation, mediation finds you."
