“For several years, I have been assisting individuals and professionals through a structured and compassionate mediation process. My role is to facilitate the expression of expectations and needs in a neutral, confidential, and secure environment.
Believing that every conflict situation can be transformed into an opportunity for collaboration, I have chosen to approach mediation from the systemic and strategic perspective of Palo Alto. This approach allows me to guide my clients toward concrete solutions while fostering mutual and lasting understanding. For me, mediation is not just a tool; it is a transformative process that promotes listening, balance, and innovation in our interactions” – Aurélie Nusbaum-de Francesco
What is mediation?
Mediation is a process that places individuals and their needs at the center of conflict resolution. It involves a neutral and impartial third party who facilitates the re-establishment of constructive dialogue.
Conducted in a confidential and secure setting, mediation allows all parties involved to:
- Clarify their expectations, needs, and concerns;
- Identify the true causes of tensions;
- Express themselves freely and listen to one another;
- Explore solutions that are suitable and acceptable for everyone.
Unlike judicial proceedings or internal disciplinary investigations, which are often lengthy, costly, and adversarial, mediation promotes a collaborative approach and a “win-win” resolution. It aims not only to resolve a dispute but also to establish solid foundations for peaceful and lasting relationships.
The advantages of a facilitating approach
Choosing mediation with a lawyer and SBA mediator, like Aurélie Nusbaum-de Francesco, recognized by the Vaud Bar Association, offers numerous benefits:
- Experience and pragmatism: Parties benefit from the guidance of an experienced mediator who actively and pragmatically facilitates the search for solutions;
- Neutrality and impartiality: The mediator ensures equal treatment of the parties throughout the process and remains neutral in their search for a solution;
- Confidentiality: The entire mediation process is confidential, which encourages open communication;
- Time and cost savings: Mediation helps ease tensions and avoids employer liability at various levels. It is often faster and less costly than judicial proceedings;
- Personalized solutions: During mediation, parties can communicate and understand each other, reaching an agreement acceptable to everyone with the mediator’s external perspective;
- Preservation of relationships: Restoring or strengthening damaged ties becomes possible through re-established dialogue.
Engaging a qualified mediator helps overcome impasses while valuing each individual’s resources and abilities to contribute to the solution.
When to consider mediation?
Mediation is an effective conflict management method suitable for a wide variety of contexts. It addresses the specific needs of different types of conflicts across various areas:
- Family mediation: Resolves sensitive disputes, whether intergenerational, related to inheritance, separation, or divorce, for example, clarifying child custody issues;
- Workplace mediation: Ideal for defusing tensions in professional settings, including disputes between peers and colleagues, hierarchical conflicts, or contractual disagreements;
- Commercial mediation: Allows businesses to address disagreements with their commercial partners in a way that fosters continued collaboration;
