Often, when I ask someone to describe their problem in 30 words or less, they cannot do it. They have story in their mind that has been rehearsed many times over.
While this thought loop allows them to describe their problem very accurately it can actually get in the way of solving the issues and the conflict.
Getting a party to a conflict to change vocabulary and see things from a different perspective is often key to finding resolution. At Prowse Barrette LLP our skilled mediators spend the time necessary to really listen to each side and understand every perspective. We then assist the parties to work through a common vocabulary.
