Top Tips for Zoom mediation

Listen Later

Zoom mediation is now an established option for family mediation. What are some ways you can make it more effective, productive and efficient?

  • scheduling - ensure that zooms are within working hours for everyone
  • be prepared - have your documents printed; your legal advice ready; your proposals and options outlined; your questions and concerns written down; etc. anything you can do to make sure you have everything you need for the conversation
  • be patient - technology is not always our friend - patience is very helpful
  • be rested - it can take a lot of focus to listen and understand on a zoom call - make sure you are in the best place to have the call
  • be constructive - stick to any ground rules the mediator has asked you both to adhere to
  • be aware - that if you are online and the other party is in the room with the mediator, the mediator will still be working impartially even if they have to sit next to the other party so that both can appear on screen
  • be private - just because you may be at home mediation is still a confidential process. Ensure that you have privacy, free from distractions, for your mediation.

    • There may be circumstances in which zoom mediation is necessary or even beneficial to the process.
