Construction and employment issues. Construction issues: delays and cost overruns.
First and foremost I work to build trust and rapport with the parties to assist the parties to be in the best possible position to resolve their differences. In my opening as well a throughout the mediation my goal is to be a calming presence and to set the parties at ease by creating a safe and optimistic atmosphere. I want the parties to know that everyone needs to be heard and to feel free to talk knowing that I will maintain their confidences and will not share with the other party unless agreement to do so is obtained. I recognize there may be issues that involve concerns other than money and look towards ways for the parties to understand their underlying needs working with them to structure settlements that address all their needs. Mediation is both an art and science and as a mediator it is my responsibility to the parties to use all the tools available to me along with my own personal experience and expertise to assist the parties in developing creative and positive solutions to the disputes in issue, including resolving small segments of the dispute along the way. Success in mediation is achieved in knowing I never wavered from my purpose, never gave up, and did everything I could do and say everything I could say to support the parties that depended on me to resolve their differences.
