Co-mediation and partnership

---

In order to provide our best professional services, CTI Mediation could choose to work in co-mediation with two mediators.

---

We believe that co-mediation provides a good approach for the following reasons:

• It offers a balance of opinion across gender, personality, culture, and professional backgrounds;
• As the saying goes, “two heads are better than one” and co-mediation provides a greater potential for perspective taking;
• It gives greater opportunities to expand experiences, skills, and knowledge;
• Co-operative behaviors can be a model for the parties involved in the dispute;
• It is easier to manage practical aspects, such as maintaining eye contact, promoting engagement etc;
• It displays transparency over the different steps in the process;
• It provides some reflective thinking space.

Depending of the field of competencies or special demands of a particular issue, we also work with external mediators to complete and reinforce our skills where necessary.
