Shopping for Mediation: What Style is the Best Fit for Us?
Common Ground Newsletter - Spring 2011When shopping for clothing you decide ahead of time what you need – casual , business, or formal and then go to stores that have the type of clothing you need. When shopping for IT services you decide first whether you need hardware, software, or web design and select your provider based on what you need. To my surprise, sometimes when I hear people talk about their selection of mediation services their process seems to skip over that analysis of need and jump straight to selection of a mediator.
