What is mediation?
Mediation is a meeting between two or more parties who have a disagreement, and is led by a facilitator.
It has a structure and uses strategies designed to lead to a desired outcome: specifically, that the disputants will reach a mutually agreed upon resolution to their disagreement.
It is the mediator's job to guide the process, but not to present alternatives or to attempt to persuade the parties. This requires skill and dedication to the craft — to do it well.
Mediation results in a mutually agreed upon outcome around 85% of the time.
