Welcome to The Doing ... a personal and community mediation service that draws on the best mediation wisdom available today ... and refines a couple of key elements to ensure the greatest possibility for success.
Our goal is to help individuals and communities find solutions between disputing parties. As mediators, we do not impose solutions, but help those parties to find their own solutions -- solutions that they can commit to and that provide the most positive outcome for everyone involved.
As our name suggests, The Doing philosophy is about getting people to commit to actions that will move issues forward. We believe that disputing parties who truly want to find resolutions will find SOMETHING they can agree on that will get them a little closer to a consensus or resolution. We empower parties on this journey of discovering answers and making commitments.
But mediation isn't just about resolving an immediate issue. It's also about improving relationships so that future issues are avoided or more easily resolved. This is one of our primary considerations each time we go to work.
We're developing content for this site that not only helps you to understand mediation, but to also understand our unique approach. We hope you can learn procedures that are useful for you. We look forward to helping with any of your mediation needs.
Sincerely,
Ivon Alcimé
The Active Mediator
