Though few of us enjoy conflict, it’s something we all face. Conflict, while often characterized in the negative, is really a mishmash of opposing needs, values and interests.
The outcome of conflict can be and often is healthy, positive change. Processing conflict can be tough emotionally. It becomes more challenging when more is at stake. Sometimes it seems we have come face-to-face with a wall and it seems there is no hope of successful resolution.
Conflict affects a wide circle; outcomes and process are important
Conflict often affects more than the main adversaries. For example, spousal decisions impact their children's well-being, the wider family and even friends. Choices made also impact how spouses and their children recover from the damaging aspect of divorce. |

We all need help
No matter who you are or what you are going through, a professional negotiator and mediator, experienced in helping resolve conflict, can be invaluable emotionally and economically. For instance, intense conflict often occurs during a divorce and may well be themost difficult conflict you encounter in your life. The type of help and advice you receive is important; it can and will determine the outcome of your conflict.Impossible is not a word we believe in
Often finding resolution to conflicts, whether they be in the home front or in work environments, may appear impossible. Especially, when critical discussions or negotiations halt and no way forward can be seen. A skilled negotiator and mediator can unwind disagreement, merge differences of opinion, reduce immense tension, still the uneasiness, soothe hurt feelings, clarify misunderstanding, redirect avoidance, and move past an inability to reach resolution.
Resolution is worth the struggle When healthy, positive conflict resolution options are reached, they may actually improve the post-conflict manner by which family members, business peers, etc., relate to each other. |

Mediation – what is it?
When a neutral and unbiased third-party (the Mediator) listens and works with two, or more, disputing parties to help them do the following in a safe environment:
1) Tell/explain their desires and wishes with regard to the issue, at the core of the dispute
2) Allow the mediator to hear both parties
3) Practice certain ground rules such as: “not interrupting the other party,” and perhaps "restating the other party’s goals even though, perhaps, not in agreement with them,” etc.
4) Discuss all possible solutions—both previously thought of and those that may come up for the first time during the mediation
5) Make a writing of all matters that both parties agree upon.
