Rapid Teleological Dialectic Agreement Creation
There's nothing else like mediation.
Mediation is the only form of Assisted Dispute Engagement (mediation, arbitration, litigation) for which volition is a defining quality.
If the people don't decide, it's not mediation.
Greetings Mediator,
Did you know, you’re a mediator every time you help at least two other people negotiate their challenges (as long as, in the end, the choice is theirs). We will empower you to become a GREAT mediator!
Sincerely, Mediator Drew and the SCFM Team
Let's break THAT down
Rapid: What can be accomplished can often be achieved faster, in proportion to the skill and experience of the mediator(s).
Teleological mediation is defined by the the service it delivers. "Radical responsibility for process" means, while it may not be our fault, if it happens during our mediation, it's our responsibility . Best practices are determined by outcomes.
Dialectic mediation harnesses the creative power of opposing forces by coalescing multiple truths into a coherent synthesis of co-maximized benefits.
Agreement Creation: A clear Definition of Success is a vital component of future-focused accomplishments. Mediated Agreements provide fresh starts, new beginnings, road maps and plans.
Where mediators go to learn
Mediation is: voluntary assisted negotiation.
Mediation is freedom.
Mediation is interpersonal empowerment skills-building.
Mediation is the world's best hope, because we currently remain a conflict-ignorant species.
Healthy conflict is natural part of life.
Conflict can be frozen, ripened, contoured, mitigated, managed, or resolved.
A great mediator does more than add it all up & whack it in half.
A great mediator is a guide, a coach, an educator, and a negotiator of acumen.
TIPS
1. To get creative, get curious.
2. Words matter. Don't get pinned by a false dichotomy (a restricted choice).
3. Remember OPS: Organize + Prioritize +Strategize.
"Sometimes, when you find mediation, mediation finds you."
