Let’s Talk In General
Lee Roughshe of Mediation.com recently said: “You can’t always get what you want in mediation. He further states that in mediation there is a lesson learned when neither side wins or loses, what a person want takes a back seat to what they need.” I am going to explore the pros and cons of this statement. In addition, we are going to discuss quick general topics, as well. For example, what is most important to us regarding settlement purposes in a mediation process, the caucus...is it really a need?, how important are communication skills for the mediator, how best to manage conflict in mediation, who should speak first in the mediation process, what happens when the mediator mis-summarize and how do you manage conflict between yourself, the mediator and participants.
