1:1 MEDIATION PREPARATION
Don't just turn up and see what happens.
Private one-to-one preparation for your actual mediation.
We'll work through what you want, what the other person may want, where the difficult conversations are likely to be - and how you want to handle them.
So you walk into mediation with a plan.
What might matter to them.
You probably already know roughly what you want.
The problem is that mediation asks you to do more than just write down your preferred outcome and hope the other person agrees.
You need to think about:
What actually matters to you.
where you have wiggle room.
Mediation is a conversation.
But it isn't one I would wing.
What you might propose if your first proposal goes nowhere.
Where you don't.
What information you still need.
What could derail the conversation?
And what you will do if you don't reach agreement.
That's what we'll prepare for together.
YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY PREPARE FOR MEDIATION YOURSELF
For many people, that's enough.
Challenge the assumptions you're making.
Spot the places where your plan isn't quite a plan yet.
And help you think through what could actually happen once another human being enters the room and disagrees with you.
What we'll work on
Your priorities
Your positions
Your room to move
The other person's perspective
Your proposals
Your difficult moments
Your decision-making
Your alternatives
We'll prepare for your mediation.
That might mean working through:
The aim isn't to predict every possible turn.
It is to make sure you aren't making important decisions for the first time while sitting at the mediation table.
What Private Preparation Looks Like
Before we meet, I'll send you a private preparation questionnaire.
You'll give me the background, tell me what is being mediated, where things currently stand and what you're hoping to resolve.
You'll also identify the areas you're most concerned about.
01. YOU PREPARE
We meet privately for an extended strategy session.
This is where we take everything out of your head and put it on the table.
We'll work through the issues, priorities, possible proposals, areas for movement, sticking points and the dynamics you are likely to encounter.
I will ask questions.
Quite a lot of them.
Some will be mildly annoying.
That's usually where the useful preparation happens.
02. WE WORK THROUGH IT TOGETHER
A practical framework for what you're trying to achieve, what you need to explore and how you want to make decisions in the room.
03. WE BUILD YOUR MEDIATION PLAN
You'll also have a short private follow-up to use around your mediation.
Use it beforehand if something changes and you need to recalibrate.
Or use it afterwards to debrief what happened and work out your next steps.
04. WE RE-GROUP
Who This Is For
You already have a mediation coming up.
You understand the basics of mediation but want help applying them to your situation.
There are several issues on the table and you're struggling to prioritise them.
You know what you want but aren't sure how realistic your negotiating position is.
You tend to freeze, concede, over-explain or become reactive when dealing with your former partner.
The dynamics between you make it difficult to think strategically.
There are proposals already being exchanged and you need to make sense of your options.
Or you simply don't want the first time you properly think through your mediation to be during the mediation.
This is for you if
THIS ISN'T LEGAL ADVICE
If you need to know your legal rights, the legal consequences of a proposal or whether you should accept a particular legal settlement, that is a conversation for your lawyer.
My role is different.
I help you prepare for the decision-making, negotiation and communication that mediation requires.
We can also identify the legal questions you need answered before mediation so that you can take those questions to your lawyer.
Because knowing the law and knowing what you want to do are not always the same thing.
So.
I want to prepare myself
I want to prepare with you
And if you need more than mediation preparation ?
