The process of mediation promises positive change. Positive outcomes, however, can be impacted by the challenges associated with how people navigate change – both within the mediation process and in the weeks following mediation. This session considers the realities of change, placing various change curves alongside the mediation process to consider how navigating the challenges of change helps to ensure a positive and lasting mediation outcome.
