S4: Reflective Connecting Questions

From: The Mediator's Toolkit

$0.70

Many of the conflicts that present at mediation are a result of parties’ ingrained patterns of behavior, which do not always serve the purpose for which they were intended. Reflective Connecting questions explore connections between actions and outcomes, patterns of behavior and cycles of conflict, both interpersonally and in the broader context in which the conflict operates. These questions bring clarity, relevance, understanding and a new perspective to a conflict.
