Style & Approach
For me, Mediation is the skill of allowing two or more parties the opportunity to translate their intentions and concerns through an impartial Mediator who can then reduce the tension and misdirection accumulated over a possible hostile process. He must then see the common interests and try to guide the parties to what their original interest in a transaction was, and if it has changed then help them discover synergies with it. Therein, I would categorize my style as very accommodating and collaborative with the specific purpose of sustaining the relationship that may have brought these parties together in the first place. It’s a puzzle that needs to be solved, and it’s a brilliant moment when the pieces can come together.
