Just as there are a thousand things (or more) people can disagree about, there are a thousand applications for mediation. But, how to get people to think that way? How do I get people to stop and think about trying mediation before they call an attorney or go to small claims court, or file for divorce, or tear up that contract, or fire that employee, or transfer that manager, or stop calling that business, or cut that customer loose? Its like trying to get people to think in a different way – kind of like if we decided to drive on the left side of the road in the U.S. instead of the right. Mediation really works if people would only try it!
