MEDIATION

 • becomes more important as doors are prematurely closing forever.

• is particularly effective where privacy and confidentiality is preferred.

• is an option if the people involved need a viable continuing relationship.

• is not a group therapy.

Relationships are often repaired through a mediation process that focuses on identifying the interests and desires of each party's position - it aims for the win/win solution.

• There is no room for compromises but for consensus only.

• Participation at every stage is completely voluntary.

• Mediated conflicts don't get picked up by the media.

Mediation is an alternative to costly court procedures. No judge will rule over the future, rather it is the conflicting parties - who want to work on finding a solution together saving a lot of time, money, and stressed nerves.

As Mediator, I am the neutral third party in the mediation. With my six-step mediation process, I help people to meet their mutual interests, and to find a consensus solution.

 Internal conflicts in businesses simmer generally under the surface and emerge into plain sight only slowly. Resentment in the workforce, frequent sick leave, and burn-out are the consequence, costing companies a lot of money. I do my work with great respect towards the people involved and I always apply the “EU Mediation Rules & Code of Conduct for Mediators”.

If you would like to learn more about how to put an end to your conflict and the involved cost and risk, I encourage you to contact me at [email protected] or to visit www.mediation4u.net for additional information.
