Public sector participant in mediation

May 24th, 2021

Thank you for the mediation, I am feeling optimistic going forward that we will be able to move on.

Although I was very nervous and upset, I wanted to say I found the first session extremely helpful and you did put me at my ease. You also helped me to focus on what I wanted to say and how I wanted the mediation meeting to flow. I think this helped immensely for the actual mediation, it did make me focus on what I wanted to achieve and how we would achieve it rather than the vitriolic he said/she said which would not necessarily move the relationship forward.

The discussion we had would not have happened in the work place, and if I had attempted it, I don’t think it would have been as focussed or productive.
