Caucus con Ida NannetteExpectativasTodos tenemos expectativas, es importante pararnos y reflexionar sobre si esas expectativas son racionales o sin embargo no solo no son reales, si no que por su culpa estamos deteriorando la relación.
En el proceso de la Mediación la expectativa es “lograr un acuerdo sin los costos en tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo que llevaría un proceso judicial". El objetivo es impulsar un acercamiento entre las partes en conflicto con la asistencia de un mediador, de manera que aun cuando no se logre un acuerdo, se abran entre ellos caminos de entendimiento.
