How to consider proposals?

Listen Later

When we receive a proposal from someone, we often respond with an instinctive "No" .  In mediation, there are a few key factors to considering a proposal which can help to close gaps, including:

  • listening - sounds basic but often we don't hear things clearly
  • clarifying questions - ask questions to understand a proposal - it is easy to make assumptions
  • take a moment to reflect - does this meet my needs?
  • be conscious of cognitive biases e.g. reactive devaluation
  • do risk analysis - lots of factors
  • ok to say 'no', but consider making a counter proposal
