These days it is hard to find a mediator who hasn't at least considered conducting their mediations online and in fact, many have pivoted successfully to virtual mediation and love it. However, there are some practioners out there who are making a BIG mistake when they get online and that mistake is leading to dissatisfaction with the online process for both the mediator and their clients! This is a very avoidable mistake and one that a dispute resolution professional would not be making with the proper preparation. As professionals we owe a duty of competency to our clients and that includes proficiency in the online platform as well as proper education and process even online. Listen to this episode and avoid making the #1 mistake being made by mediators as you get online too!
