Those participating in mediation should prepare for each session. The more prepared each party is, the more efficient and effective the process will be.
Mediation builds on the agreements and shared interests of the parties, and as a result can move quickly. Conflicts and disagreements that have languished for weeks, months, or even years can be quickly resolved in a couple of hours. Such efficiency can be overwhelming for the unprepared.
To prepare for mediation:
- Complete any preparation paperwork as completely as possible
- Compile a detailed list of all issues you believe are relevant to the resolution
- Collect copies of related materials to bring to the mediation
- Come up with some different ideas to resolve the issues that are being mediated
Remember mediation is voluntary and it is a chance to bring up any and all issues that either party feels is relevant to the resolution. Mediation agreements are binding, so no agreement should feel rushed or pressured.
Preparing for mediation and for the efficient resolution of the conflict is an important step that should not be overlooked.
