Excellent article in which you have correctly outlined the mediator's role. (I'm very familiar with the concept in the legal setting but its application goes far beyond those parameters, of course.) Thanks for contributing this post to this week's Carnival of Family Life, hosted at Modern Sage -- Practical Living Blog. The Carnival will be live tomorrow, so please stop by and peruse all of the wonderful articles submitted this week!

This is a great article. In today’s world, communication as a skill is few and far between. Like you said, after a while, and for some, almost immediately, we begin forming rebuttals and counter arguments instead of really listening.

Mediation is surely a great tool for communication, but I think what really needs to be addressed is the listening ability of all parties involved. If everyone was a better listener, problems would be solved faster and fewer problems would spring up.

I have written a “Top Ten Tips” article on how to be a better listener over at my page http:\\PersonaDev.com. It can be found directly at: http://www.personadev.com/2008/02/09/10-tips-to-be-a-better-listener/ .

Give it a read and please let me know what you think!
