Are you or someone you love working through a situation using mediation? We know it can be stressful Here are some quick tips to help prepare:

  • Be ready to make the first offer. The first offer often “anchors” the entire process, so have an initial offer in mind.

  • Share your thoughts if given the opportunity. When done in a respectful manner, it creates a connection and humanizes the process.

  • Confide in your mediator. Discussions with your mediator are confidential; use them as a sounding board for your feelings, fears, and negotiation ideas.
