With mediation, parties turn to a neutral third party who uses interest-based problem solving techniques to assist in resolving a dispute

Active Listening


The skillful listener remains constantly aware of the verbal (e.g. vocal pauses, interjections like "uh-huh", "oh", "wow", and "Really?") and nonverbal cues the other party transmits. Eye contact is one such cue that is extremely important to communication
