2. CONFLICT IS ALL AROUND US >
What is Mediation & Why is This
a Good Alternative?
Mediation is the process of using
an impartial third party (that’s
me) to facilitate the resolution of
inter- personal conflict or dispute
in a confiden tial settin g . Any
resolution, agreement or
consensus reached is the result
of the action of the parties.
Rather than a decision imposed
upon you, you can maintain
personal control .
I’ll help you to achieve your
goals:
 faster!
 with less cost
 and more satisfaction!
In mediation, I’ll help you to
have a conversation that works
for you.
I’ll help you to open up new
options and find the best
solutions —this is a lot more
than simply compromising!
Mediation is appropriate for a
wide range of topics and
problems , from business
disputes involving technical or
contractual matters to family
disputes with strong personal
>AND WHEN APPROACHED
CORRECTLY>
Feel this way? ‘My problem is not so
much with a dispute—I just need to
have a difficult conversation—can you
help?’
Absolutely! In both family and
business decisions, often we put off
making important plans with others
because we’re concerned that the talk
won’t go well.
I’ve helped hundreds of clients to be
able to make plans and resolve
problems in a cooperative way that
respects everyone.
How are your mediations different?
The practice is built on making the
process more satisfying and helpful to
the parties--and YOU decide what this
will look like. I will help you to explore
the facets of conflict that are
important to you , since you know so
much more about the relationship
than anyone else, and so should
decide both what to talk about and
how to talk about it. The power is in
you!
Does it Work?
Yes! I’ll help you to get at the real
problems Clients report high levels of
satisfaction, often with complete
resolution of all issues. Also, the
‘after- effects’ can provide benefits
