Michael Lang is a professional mediator and co-author of a book titled The Making of a Mediator: Developing Artistry in Practice.
He recently participated in a video conference with mediators Roberta Lee-Driscoll, Susan Terry, and yours truly that illustrates how our beliefs and values influence our decisions when we mediate. In particular, Michael and Susan helped Roberta and me (we are both volunteer mediators for the Mediation Center of the Pacific) reflect on why our (very) different styles mediating TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) cases at the Honolulu District Court can produce similar results.
