This is really helpful! I'm an extremely empathetic person, but I'm also very logical. I'm usually able to see different sides and reason to a situation just naturally so I've usually always made a good mediator, however I'll be going into a situation where my best friend is needing to have a important convo with her friends about drama relating to them wanting to leave her bridal party and why. They were super close before this, and I've always been pretty friendly with them, but she doesn't feel comfortable going into the discussion alone, and she asked me to be the mediator. However, the other friends don't want me there so I feel like makes it a bit harder, especially cause I know I'm not wanted and I am bias to my best friend but I will do my best to follow your tips and really help them resolve their conflict! Thank you!
Just did a mediation and I didn't like it. The mediator seemed to favor one party over the other. When one party didn't compromise except on one every issue yet it was expected I should let go of ALL of my concerns. Mediator even referring to my concerns as possibly turning into a " Jerry Springer" show....I was expressing my concerns and she tried to make me feel small. I tried to stay thankful and cordial but I am thinking about reporting it is some kind of way.
This is incredible Bob! I love your incorporation of the clips from one of my favorite shows.
Wonderful content. Thanks, Bob!
