The Mediator as Conductor

David Mitchell

A mediator, conducting a mediation, must rely on presence, trustworthiness, impartial professionalism, and compassionate listening skills Read more from the first in a series of Musings of a mediator: the mediator as a conductor series

 The mediator sits with you

Looking and observing,

Listening and hearing,

Feeling and understanding.

With chosen words in language known,

With unspoken language in face and body,

Baton less, yet conductor-like, he/she entrains heart-minds

and creates synchrony that becomes a new, finished symphony.
