Why should I become a mediator?

Posted 6 Jan 2023

Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) attempts to resolve conflicts between two or more parties. The mediator helps the parties agree on a solution without one of the parties having to go to court. The Mediator listens to both sides, asks questions, encourages dialogue, and tries to reach an understanding of the parties’ respective views and needs in order to reach an agreement.
