Sokoloski Mees Mediation and Conflict Resolution provides dispute resolution services and custom dispute resolution training.
Mediation promotes communication and cooperation. The process allows you to control the decisions that affect your life. Often people find it easier to avoid conflict and individuals who are associated with such conflict. Conflict separates us, so it is not surprising that we rarely see the whole picture rather than simply our own perspective. Mediation can assist by permitting a third party to facilitate this type of conversation.
Mediation offers the opportunity to understand one another, to feel what others feel, and to move beyond the limitations of our own thoughts and opinions.
Listening is by far the most important skill that mediators, as well as individuals, can utilize to manage a dispute. Not the type of listening that one does while planning their next argument or comment in their head, rather, listening whole heartedly with true curiosity. Conflict dissolves as individuals focus on listening rather than speaking. Listening effectively allows you to understand the whole picture.
Often the presence of a third party who is not involved in the situation is essential for resolving conflict situations. Mediation offers a collaborative environment where individuals negotiate their own agreement and in the process learn the tools necessary for resolving future conflicts. Conflict should not be viewed as a negative. With the right tools conflict can result in productive conversation which can lead to creative solutions.
