“My mediation approach is to encourage cooperation while respecting each party’s autonomy and perspectives.
Flexibility is crucial as each mediation process is unique and may require adjustments based on the dynamics and developments during the sessions.
Throughout the process, it is important to show impartiality, empathy and patience.”
