Vatican mediation

With the continued backlog of cases mediation is now more than ever the best choice to find a resolution for your dispute.  Get your dispute resolved now so you can really concentrate on what’s important and what deserves your time and energy.


Northwest Mediation continues to use Zoom, Skype and FaceTime as well as the phone and emails to resolve disputes should we add we also do live in person mediation too!  So please do not feel that you cannot contact us if you would like to mediate but wish to do so remotely.

It’s been a wild few weeks since my last blog.  Busy with work, bosses being hospitalized and actually having a break from work as well! So sorry if you, dear reader, missed me.




I come back to work in the midst of rioting in very limited areas.  I shan’t go on about the need for discussion as I do not believe in Nigel Garage’s suggestion that we “need to listen to concerns” rioting and looting isn’t showing a concern about anything, least of all the safety of children.  Given Garage’s support of the Orange one in the US who in turn supports looser gun control which perpetuates the many deaths of kids in the US he’s as ever just whipping up noise for his own edification.  Listening and hearing are important in resolving all issues, but use the example if the Iman talking to rioters not Garage with his not subtle tour or places “they” are staying. 

Othering makes ignoring and harming people easy, it’s why in mediation I make clients refer to each other by name not nick name not “the ex” or anything worse, once you stop considering people as people you are on the slippery slope to small minded deafness.


Speaking of narrow minded people interesting to see the Vatican opening up to discussions on end of life via mediation between opposing standpoints.


Per Monsignor Paglia in the article “open and respectful discussion leads to a public dialogue capable of positively influencing political decisions, showing how mediations between different positions are not necessarily destined to take on the poor form of a downward compromise or negotiation for one exchange of political favours".


Not a bad proposition as it goes.


I’ve covered medical mediation and family mediation where the dispute is over care regime but never end of life, yet, I suppose with ethical and religious elements added to medical discussions mediation has to be the way forward in those cases.


The three pillars of mediation remain it’s voluntary (at the moment), it’s confidential, the mediator is impartial and independent, by using those pillars to support your work the parties keep control, save costs, save time and energy and reduce stress. 


In person or via electronic media as we’ve said before choose to mediate early and resolve your issues effectively, timeously, and with less stress and costs than going to your solicitor so you can get out choose a different path, not quite the road less travelled but perhaps the path less adversarial. You have an interest in the outcome the sooner you get round the mediation table the quicker you can move forward and avoid the grilling a cross examination in court would put you through.


By having a deep and meaningful discussions with parties the mediator elicits what the true “red-lines” are and where there is the potential for compromise, it is with this structured period of reflection that the parties are then able to reach an accord.


The flexible nature of mediation and the possible outcomes make it an ideal way to resolve disputes in an ever-changing world and the open nature of discussions in mediation whilst remaining confidential allows all sides to engage fully in the process and understand the needs of all involved allowing parties to reach a conclusion which both sides can live with and move on.


There are so many situations which could have been resolved by early intervention of mediation it continues to surprise me the lengths the public will go to avoid referral.
