Reflective Practice: In Their Voices Video Conversation Project
In a turn-around, Cinnie Noble talks with Michael, asking how he became a mediator, learning about his first mediation, and talking about Michael’s long-time interest in bringing the principles and methods of reflective practice into the field of conflict work.
Summary:
This YouTube interview focuses on Michael Lang, a mediator who discusses his career journey, starting with his unexpected entry into the mediation field through a divorce case and how his background in transactional analysis and gestalt therapy influenced his approach. The conversation emphasizes the importance of reflective practice in mediation, which Lang defines as a continual process of self-examination, curiosity, and learning. He highlights the need for a theoretical framework to guide mediators in their practice and how this framework informs the decisions they make during mediation. The interview concludes with Lang’s advice for new mediators: to be voracious learners and to engage in reflective practice to continuously improve their skills and understanding of the mediation process.
