This week, Gavin is joined by Sandy Brown, a mediation trainer, solicitor and speaker, to discuss the ways we can improve our mediation skills, and how to turn what can be an awkward situation, rife with conflict, into a mutually beneficial and friction-free outcome.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Part of the problems we're seeing in the heightened sensitivity situations where mediation is required, is a lack of tolerance. Make sure you are listening effectively.
- Listening to the best of our ability involves truly hearing what is said. This is better fortified by pausing to reflect on what you have heard, repeating their points back, and look to discover the root cause.
- Focus upon your state and decide if it is conducive to helping you reach the desired outcome for both parties. Is your current mood beneficial to reaching that goal?
- Be clear about what the solution is, and make sure that it remains clear and achievable. This solution should be behind every step of the conciliatory process.
BEST MOMENTS
'Mediation is the key'
'Are we acknowledging and giving people the space to say what they want to say, and hearing themselves saying it?'
'In a world of uncertainty, you need certainty'
'If you can calm your breathing, calm your state, you're more likely to be able to respond in an effective manner'
