Mediation

Mediation is a fit for most workplace, organisational and interpersonal conflicts, and whenever the concerned persons are willing to actively engage in the process.
The mediator will get in touch with all participants prior to the mediation to understand the nature of the issue and will determine with all persons together the next steps.

Mediation provides an opportunity for participants to share their different perspectives, to identify systematically the underlying issues and concerns, to explore options, and to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.

A mediator is neither a judge nor an arbitrator. On the contrary, a mediator is onmi-partial and does not evaluate a dispute. The role of the mediator is to facilitate communication, to create an atmosphere of constructive discussion and trust which allows issues to surface in a safe space, so that the participants can find new solutions.

In mediation, there are no "adverse parties", rather than "participants". This is a crucial difference. You and the other person(s) facing the disagreement will not only be able to actively participate and to contribute to finding solutions, but this is actually a necessity (as the mediator will not "decide" for you, see above).
Hence, if you expect the mediator to judge according to "truth" or "rights", then mediation is clearly not for you.

The mediator helps the participants to develop their own creative proposals that resolve the conflict in a way that satisfies all sides. There is no requirement for a formal mediation agreement if the issue is already solved and the participants do not wish for it.
If needed and deemed necessary, the mediator assists in recording this agreement in writing.

The fees vary depending on the nature and the complexity of the conflict. Please contact me for further details.
