Mediation is NOT limited to litigation or divorce/family law. There are many careers in mediation and before you invest your time and money, we recommend that you consider the type of mediation you want to practice, your background and relevant experience, and where you live. From there you can explore training programs and begin to seek opportunities to gain relevant experience. Our course on Developing Your Career in Mediation will help you gain insight into your personal capacity and ways to develop your mediators profile, develop a business plan including strategic marketing steps, and help you distinguish yourself and your career as a professional mediator.
For additional information, we recommend that you read the following blog by Bruce Edwards, The Sparrow and the Peacock.
