As a consequence of our previous post, dated May 3, in which we gave recommendations for mediators when establishing themselves and beginning to practice as such, and motivated, among other things, by the queries received, we have carried out a webinar on this topic, taught by Javier Alés, an experienced mediator (since 1993) who will soon be awarded an Honoris Causa Doctorate by the University of Aguas Calientes (Mexico) for his work in expanding, energizing and bringing mediation closer together.
And it is that the delusion and the faith In this medium of conflict resolution that Javier's testimony distills, they are Desirable characteristics in the mediator, which you will hopefully gather not only at the beginning of your exercise, but also over time. Although the latter is not difficult, because as experience is gained and agreements are reached even in cases that many would consider impossible, that hope and faith in mediation will grow and reinforce persistence (be careful, without falling into absurdities) and conviction of the mediator, which he/she will know how to transmit to the mediators.
As the theme between this post and the one mentioned is so directly related, we recommend that you see first one and then the other, or vice versa, first the other and then the one.
