Style & Approach
The key is clearly to connect with the Clients by understanding their needs and acting accordingly all whilst bearing in mind that as a Mediator you are to abide by certain rules regardless of what the clients’/parties’ demands are. You have to look at the best solution for both parties so that they feel that progress was made in the current forum. The parties need to feel comfortable and also be sure that they in good hands. Impartiality is key as this is a forum that might avoid a Court Case altogether.
My style or approach in summary would be to:
Embrace an ethical as well as a realistic/practical approach and keeping the discussion focused on the issue at hand. The parties must always feel confident in their mediator and not feel prejudiced against at all.
