When we receive a proposal from someone, we often respond with an instinctive "No" . In mediation, there are a few key factors to considering a proposal which can help to close gaps, including:
- listening - sounds basic but often we don't hear things clearly
- clarifying questions - ask questions to understand a proposal - it is easy to make assumptions
- take a moment to reflect - does this meet my needs?
- be conscious of cognitive biases e.g. reactive devaluation
- do risk analysis - lots of factors
- ok to say 'no', but consider making a counter proposal
