Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. - William James
This past week I had a party come to me for mediation that had purchased a business from an individual and there were outstanding issues. Both agreed to mediate, however the seller of the business wanted me to give an opinion on the contract and stated he was right. Mediators don't give opinions, which I explained to him twice. He said he would not go forward unless I gave him an opinion. I said no, not my role as a Mediator. If you go into the mediation with an attitude, you probably won't get very far. Go to a mediation and listen, ask questions, work on resolving the dispute. Leave the attitude at the door.
