Pre Mediation Coaching
Pre-Mediation Preparation & Strategy
Expert guidance to ensure you enter mediation organized, emotionally regulated, and ready to secure a fair agreement.
Facing mediation is a pivotal step in your separation process. If you walk in unprepared, emotions can easily derail negotiations, leading to higher legal costs and stalled outcomes. As a trained Mediation Coach through the New Ways For Families® program at the High Conflict Institute, Heidi ensures you have the specific tools to keep emotions in check. She helps you prepare appropriate proposals, make reasonable decisions regarding your spouse’s offers, and ultimately remain focused on outcomes that provide long-term stability for your family.
Strategic Preparation
- Process Clarity: Gain a clear understanding of the roles of the mediator and your legal counsel, and exactly how the process will unfold so there are no surprises.
- Emotional Regulation: Ensure your triggers are in check by developing specific tools to manage emotions during the course of the meeting, preventing you from reacting impulsively.
- Agenda Review: Review the mediation agenda with Heidi beforehand to ensure you have explored all options and are focusing on making fair, reasonable proposals.
- Prepared Statements: Develop appropriate responses to anticipated proposals from your spouse. Have prepared statements ready so you do not lose focus or let your emotions dictate your answer.
- Role-Play Simulation: Practice the conversation with Heidi beforehand. Role-playing allows you to feel truly prepared for the dynamic of the room and what is to come.
