How Do You Pick a Mediator.
Look at websites? Ask friends?
And then you find the mediator who has spent years in family court. That’s promising. But if they talk more than they listen, chances are the mediation will end with them telling you what to do.
Is that what you want? Or would that leave you feeling trapped and disappointed?
You have spent so much time and energy to get this point and now you just want to finish it. So you settle. Seems like the reasonable thing to do.
Except.
You shouldn’t settle. You should strive to make the agreement you won’t regret.
I can’t give you your time back but I can give you something else.
More about that in two seconds.
Mediation is About Rapport.
You need the mediator who respectfully listens to the things that haven’t been said before, who untangles the why behind the what and then works to build a durable agreement.
A durable agreement is the one that still works after communication has evaporated, hopefully it won’t.
This is the only way that you will be able to move on with your life. Problem is, you may not know if your agreement is durable for a couple years.
After all, you’ve never been through this.
However, if you leave mediation feeling kind of bitter about the property division or you settle for a vague parenting plan because you feel rushed. It won’t get better with time. You’ll either have to return to family court or learn to live with the ongoing slow burn.
People make their best decisions when they have the right information.
And the most important piece of information that you need is, what will your rapport with the mediator be like. Except you won’t know that until after mediation has started.
So how can you make the best decision. You can’t.
But there is a solution, in one more second.
You’ll Agree that Online Mediation is Better.
I understand that it still feels new to most people. After all, it is new.
And better.
This is a link to a list of online mediation benefits.
But the new and unknown makes most people hesitate. After all, who wants to be the first person in their circle of friends to do something new and important.
Some will want to, but most won’t.
For all of these reason I am offering…
The Refund
If you are not completely satisfied after your first hour of online mediation, tell me and I’ll refund your money.
Just say the word.
To be clear.
I am not guaranteeing that your divorce will be resolved in an hour, and
I am not guaranteeing a certain outcome, and
I am not saying that after a hour you’ll feel like a conclusion is around the corner.
What I am saying is that…
If you aren’t happy after the first hour of online mediation, tell me. I’ll refund your money.
To my knowledge, we are the only mediators who will make this promise.
I am confident. But it is your decision and you don’t owe me a reason.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
The world is waiting.
Hopefully we can work together, for more than an hour.
I look forward to your call.
