Mark Albright
Critical Essay of Mediator Skills
4/2/98
My Mediation Skills
     Over the coarse of this semester I have been given the opportunity to become a mediator.  Although I have only mediated twice, I feel as though I have gotten a hold of what it means to be a mediator, and the role mediators play in mediation situations.  I am glad that I took the coarse of Mediation and Conflict Transformation because I feel it will be beneficial to my career choice.  I want to become a counselor, specifying in the area of drug and alcohol rehabilitation.  If I get the opportunity to become a counselor I think I can put my mediation skills to work by using them to mediate family arguments, or drug related failures in relationships.

Before we went on to the next step I told them that I did not have much experience being a mediator.

We jumped right into the story telling after I explained the my role and such.  I wanted them to tell there stories separately so that I could analyze both of there sides.
