Does true communication seem illusive with the ones you love?
Learn the wonders of mediation as a life long tool.
Mediation is a conflict resolution or problem-solving process where an impartial third party helps people to resolve a dispute amicably (such as without involving lawyers or courts). It has been used for years as a powerful tool by divorce lawyers, by corporations during workplace conflict, for example, and even by entire nations working toward civil solutions to long standing disputes.
To Jeannette, Mediation Specialist and owner of Pinnacle Mediation Services: "Mediation is a way to have your concerns, hopes, fears and dreams validated, heard and understood. It is a lifelong tool that can assist you in reestablishing a positive relationship between business partners, parents, teens and spouses during unmanageable situations."
Jeannette's mediation sessions are a safe, confidential
environment. The process is like an open forum where who is at fault is not the focus. Instead, both parties are encouraged to listen to each others side and then everyone gets ample time to communicate how they feel about the situation. Jeannette
participates as a neutral third party offering guidance and support so each party feels understood and solutions are created.
This is a particularly effective process for parents and teens.
