KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The most successful way to defuse potentially combative situations is to take an early approach - a proactive stance on conflict resolution.
• Arbitration is different from mediation. Arbitration is when an external party comes into a situation, listens to both sides, and makes the situation clearer.
• Mediation is the art of building rapport, building trust and building confidence. Often by gaining complete trust, we can get to the root causes of conflict, which can stem from past trauma.
• Time limits on mediation are incredibly disrespectful, We cannot hope to build trust if the clock is ticking

BEST MOMENTS

'I adopted a coaching style of leadership'

'You can't entirely eradicate conflict'

'The nature of mediation is variable'

'It's entirely about rapport, building trust and confidence'
