Understanding Mediation in Conflict Resolution
So how is mediation a valuable tool to resolve a conflict this is a great podcast from some attorneys that talked about perspectives on reaching settlements so normally when you’re working on a settlement you have a lawyer representing you and a lawyer representing the other party and they’re fighting with each other each lawyer is an advocate for their client which is the right thing to do but they’re actively fighting for the other person and that fight escalates to where the dispute doesn’t deescalate.
Role of a Mediator
Mediator is a neutral third party they don’t have a dog in the fight they’re not taking sides and what they’re doing is they’re looking at what are the common elements in most disputes there’s actually 70 80% of the things that seem like they’re being disputed already agre in agreement you’re not that far apart as most people think but sometimes the distance apart is magnified because those things are very powerful they’re very emotional and sometimes people get like spite or they’re just like on.
Breaking Through Emotional Barriers
Principle i’m not going to give in that third party can help neutralize that can help dissolve some of those some those serious conflicts your video will be back in 8 seconds in the meantime remember you have access to live one- on-one consultation undivided attention of a licensed certified expert in this subject and many others we want to listen to your story we want to hear your questions and give you expert advisement of your options we want to tell you what we know about your situation and what options you have now.
Seeing the Bigger Picture
Back to your video and they can also point out what the realities are look if you stick to this line of of conflict and it goes to litigation you might lose because that’s not something that might win having a third party tell you about what the the big picture is sometimes helps both parties see the scenario without being blinded by rage or blinded by spite or by the um trauma of like the past of the dispute how it happened maybe it’s a a lawsuit about a contract that was breached both parties are going to have the pain of.
Benefits of Neutral Mediation
That breach of contract in their head when they’re trying to basically put together a new contract which is this agreement so a neutral third party a mediator that is truly neutral not advocating for either party can really help dissolve a conflict to where both people walk away saving face you save your honor you save your pride but are not bogged down into years of litigation hundreds of thousands in legal fees where you still run the risk of losing everything because you have to flip a coin and guess who the judge or jury is.
