Conflict exists all around us and travels with us everyday. Yet, instead of learning better ways to deal with it, we become more polarized. I spent a number of years of my life fighting in the trenches in courts both in New York City and in Tennessee, and I can tell you…there are no winners. I don’t care if you are fighting over a marriage, kids, custody, money, a contract, a business breakup, an employee dispute, a slip and fall, or a medical malpractice…please, for you sake, for your sanity…mediate first…find a skilled person who knows how to conduct a collaborative (working together to resolve the issues) mediation and get started…bring your attorney if you have one, or have your attorney schedule it…you remain in control, it is confidential, and, if it works you have saved countless hours of time and money and perhaps even preserved a relationship…don’t hesitate, mediate first!
