Mediation Style

Every mediation case is unique and involves parties differently. I used to manage mediations in a proactive approach, asking the parties to become the real players of their procedure, not putting me as an expert, but trying to use me as a tool whenever they needed. I like facilitative methods, but I’m able to use evaluative and transformative approaches too.
