As a retired Lincoln Public School Administrator and teacher, my past roles provided many opportunities to act as an unbiased third party; which included using listening skills, probing to uncover facts, facilitating problem solving, maintaining confidentiality, and writing a variety of plans. While participating in Family Mediation, there have been a variety of decisions for the Parenting Plans that naturally revolve around school. I have a high comfort level for asking questions and doing reality testing in order to have a plan that is best for the children in the family. I have appreciated the three Supervising Mediators that worked with me during my apprenticeship experience. They provided great modeling of co-mediation skills and valuable feedback to me. I believe this experience confirmed that mediation at The Mediation Center is important and something I am committed to doing.
