Mediation is not just a dispute resolution process, it is also a philosophical approach to dealing with conflict. Disputes often seem unsolvable because the parties on either side become so entrenched in their own positions that they can’t see any of the other side’s interests . A well guided mediation should result in the disputants not only agreeing on a way forward to overcome the immediate issues, but also be empowered with some tools for dealing with any future conflict as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1562684414914-0WZD88DEBFICZML5Z9ML/Logo1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1562684414921-UWV4DVB1BXX9ZYKQWPAE/Logo2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1562684414918-YN0C3707759R1F69864F/Logo3.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1562684414916-8GQ9RHAGPANKNNJ99XAV/Logo4.png Home https://www.evoquemediations.com/about daily 0.75 2021-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f238fe118706537b84531a2/1598250219221-OXM2WSNQU7M6W91N14RH/profile+pic.png About Us Many years ago, after completing my law degree in the early 90’s, I ran into a practicing mediator at an ADR course and he offered me a small piece of very valuable advice, which was to go off and get some more life experience before attempting mediation, so that I could better relate to my client’s perspectives from real world experience. So that’s what I did …………. for about 30 years. Recently I connected back up with that same mediator from years ago, and out of our discussions I realised that even though I had not been formally practicing as a mediator, I had actually been continually using my mediation communication skills within the multiple senior business roles I have held over the last three decades. What this means for my clients is that I bring a very pragmatic and practical approach to my mediations. I have sound knowledge of the law, but I am not overly influenced by an adversarial, win/lose, mindset and I can therefore serve the collaborative intent of mediation very effectively. I have also developed in-depth business knowledge to understand many of the underlying interests in commercial and employment disputes, including partnership dissolutions . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f238fe118706537b84531a2/1597818156243-JTI8C1YPQQ8JLBM3XG88/image-asset.jpeg About Us - If you have read some of the adjoining material on this website, you will appreciate that I have huge passion for mediation as a conflict management tool and full belief in its power to resolve disputes in a more robust and meaningful way than other dispute resolution mechanisms, mainly due to the fact that it addresses parties “interests” rather than focusing purely on their “positions”. Recently I competed further training for Mediation within the family dispute area, so I am equally happy talking about your needs for Family Dispute Resolution as I am discussing commercial disputes.

When the mediation process works to its full potential, the participants leave with more than just an actionable agreement about their current dispute, they are also empowered with new tools and knowledge to help them better manage all manner of future conflicts either between themselves or with others.

At work, at home and most of the places in between. Conflict at work can sometimes be constructive, like when it leads to more creative thinking or challenges aging business processes, but more often than not conflict at work is not constructive Generally you just get on with your day-job and if you have to deal with difficult people, either internal or external to your company, then that’s just part of doing business….right? That’s not entirely true. Dealing with conflict is certainly part of doing business, but if it is not managed effectively then it can become counterproductive and damaging for everyone involved. To find out more about how the communication techniques in mediation can help resolve a wide range of conflict and disputes in the work setting, take a look at the articles on our blog page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f238fe118706537b84531a2/1634943136590-10NP9TSW70ZC8Q5RVHVX/agreement_image2.jpg Home - Why should I choose mediation to address conflict? In a nutshell the answer comes down to an appreciation of how mediation focuses on the disputing parties’ interests rather than their positions. Every conflict and dispute is deeper and has more meaning to the parties than just the surface positions which they each each adopt. If all you do to try and resolve your dispute is negotiate back and forwards about where the “middle ground” compromise between the two positions should be, then you will never address the underlying issues or truly resolve the dispute at all. You may even miss the opportunity for a win-win outcome from the dispute. https://www.evoquemediations.com/about-mediation daily 0.75 2021-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f238fe118706537b84531a2/1598252173843-CF51M0QJNVSUWNSW6Q8H/image-asset.jpeg About Mediation - Dealing with interests not positions. A classic statement from “Getting to yes” proposes that: disputing parties usually assume that because they have opposing positions in the dispute, then all of their underlying interests are also opposed. This is not usually true, as there are normally many interests in the background of a dispute that the parties have not talked about, some will be neutral to both parties and there may even be common shared mutual interests. This is where the true power of mediation lies, in exploring the shared interests that parties have for resolving a dispute, not just evaluating who has the stronger legal position. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f238fe118706537b84531a2/1598256380886-6O0G9PFA84PBJXT60I44/image-asset.jpeg About Mediation - Seeing the other person’s point of view. When you are embroiled in a dispute it is simple human nature to take a position and defend it, and in doing so it becomes very difficult to see your opponents point of view, or even listen to them effectively when they speak. A mediation session follows a set structure and a resolution model, which is aimed at progressively getting the disputing participants to gradually see more of each other’s perspective. Mediation provides a non-threatening collaborative environment, where participants can feel comfortable sharing their views https://www.evoquemediations.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.evoquemediations.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-waxz6 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.evoquemediations.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-ezn59 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.evoquemediations.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-pkn3s monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
