Mediation Process: John In Legal's Cheat Sheet
Step 1: Active Listening
Don't just hear the words, John. Listen between them.
Step 2: Acknowledge the Emotions
It's not just about the facts, John. It's about how the facts make people feel.
Step 3: Focus on Interests
What's the real issue here, John? Not your ego.
Step 4: Seek Solutions
It's time to get creative, John. Think outside the box. Or in this case, think outside the mediation room.
