25.01.2022 Apparently taking paracetamol reduces a person's capacity for empathy. Something for mediators to be aware of if a party takes painkillers during a mediation... And to be mindful of in yourself.

23.01.2022 Strategic planning days can either end up being a talkfest or result in outcomes that inspire action. Very happy to say that it was definitely the latter today. The QCL Committee are looking forward to what we can bring to members in the coming months

22.01.2022 There's a lot of talk about how many people were at President Trump's inauguration and who is lying about the numbers. What this highlights to me is that things are seen differently, depending on your perspective. From where the President stood, the crowd looked huge. From a rear perspective there were wide open spaces. Stonehenge differs in appearance depending on the light and where you stand. There is much debate about its origins and different groups have had to lea...rn to share it even though they have a different perspective on it's original purpose. As mediators we need to be acutely aware that perception is our reality. Certainly for the parties, but we are not immune and need to be live to it so we can set it aside and be effective in the eye of the conflict. In any conflict we need to be aware that others are looking through a different prism and their reality may be vastly different from our own. Before you can resolve conflict, you need to find a bridge between the perceived realities... See more

21.01.2022 When you are trying to resolve a conflict, it is sometimes hard to come up for air. A cheer squad does not always help you resolve the conflict as they can be well meaning, but not really understand the dynamics. This can result in them questioning the decisions you make to resolve the conflict. The best thing you can do is to have people around you who will listen, but not judge, and allow you to take the advice you are obtaining from professionals - your lawyer, your counsellor, your accountant, your financial adviser. What you really need from friends and family when you are in conflict with someone, is a port in the storm - people who can take you away from the conflict, not dissect it with you. Otherwise, you risk the conflict becoming your life

21.01.2022 "Perhaps the best part of mediation is the peace of mind it can bring post divorce"

20.01.2022 Oops! It looks like our website is not quite live yet! Thanks for the heads up Cook Legal! We will repost when the link will actually work!

19.01.2022 Stephen Covey teaches as one of the 7 habits of highly effective people that we should separate the stimulus from the response. Mediation is more effective when we (not just the parties - the mediator also) can listen with the intent to understand not to respond. If someone drops a 'hand grenade' in the room then 'give it 5 minutes' (or 'going to the balcony') gives time to ask questions and process rather than have a knee jerk reaction

18.01.2022 Resolving conflict is about more than the words you use...

16.01.2022 Family law mediators donate days to assist parties in the overloaded Federal Circuit Court

15.01.2022 "I am sorry I hurt you" is much more of an apology than "I am sorry you are upset with me". Thanks for sharing a great read, Accord Mediation

13.01.2022 This is from a blog about people staying married, but apologies can also be powerful in mediation where couples have separated and want to co-parent. They do need to be done right though!

12.01.2022 Its no longer just When can our child have a mobile phone? Discussions and agreements around social media are becoming more common in Family Dispute Resolution. Do you have a parental alliance around your kids social media?

11.01.2022 Mediation is almost always a better option than heading to Court

10.01.2022 Seated meditation is something that I have been struggling to get the hang of. Will definitely be trying out this walking version. Thanks to Sarah Tuckett Psychotherapy & Counselling

10.01.2022 Good to know that the important things have been taken care of - its all fine until someone fights over Pikachu!

09.01.2022 We have a new home too! It has been designed as a meeting and mediation space with comfort and safety as priorities. If you are a mediator needing space for mediations, please get in touch and we can organise a tour

08.01.2022 Serving food in a meeting where there is potential for conflict can instead make parties feel more like they are negotiating around the kitchen table. Some people also struggle to eat breakfast due to nerves and it's hard to think on am empty stomach. We haven't had lamingtons before but maybe need to give this recipe a go? #queenslander

08.01.2022 We can mediate your family law parenting issues and help you reach agreement before the Christmas holidays.

07.01.2022 This is something that could be useful to take into a mediation. Mediation is not just about focussing on interests, but also prioritising and 'picking your battles'. However, whilst the initial response to this rule is to 'let it go', it's also helpful in reverse - if you won't be able to live with it in 5 years then agreeing to it may well lead you to suffer from settlement remorse.

05.01.2022 Ok, it looks like the website might actually be live now! Still very much in the early stages so don't be too brutal! www.hetheringtonmediations.com.au

03.01.2022 This article is certainly a very good argument for Child-Inclusive Mediation, an option we offer to separating families http://www.theaustralian.com.au//9c2a2a1e6b8973c61a9f5d070
