Approach

A comfortable facilitative style, sometimes transformative style. Can be eval in some cases.Facilitate parties in their own evaluation of best alternative.I am a believer in the potential of the process of mediation to see another point of view, and make a fresh choice about the dilemma.Result is often a more satisfying position/choice.
