“It is essential to set a positive, calm tone in the initial stages of a mediation. Parties must feel safe, listened to and understand that the mediator is there to enable a conversation that could lead to a resolution.” – Judith Machanik

Overview: The most productive teaching style is to engage, support, and encourage parties to speak openly about the issues on the table and to know someone neutral is listening.
