Video recording: What do you want the world to look like? If you could do this all over again, is there anything you would/could have done differently? We ask our parties these questions all the time, but
how often do we ask these questions to ourselves? What would we discover if we did? As much as mediation successfully saves time, saves money, lifts up voices, and repairs relationships, we face certain
challenges and limitations. Research demonstrates that the general public still is not familiar with mediation, that Mediators still do not often reflect the community in which they serve, and some notable
parties, such as Harvey Weinstein, have abused confidential processes and enacting NDAs to cover up rampant sexual harassment. It is in this context that we need to ask ourselves how we might do better and enhance the mediation and settlement process in the 21st-Century.
