The practice of mediation can be a lonely one. We work with parties and their counsel, but our relationship is only for the resolution of the immediate issues. We seldom receive feed-back from the parties or their counsel about our performance. For most of us, the last time we were observed practicing our craft by an outside observer, was when we participated in role plays at courses we completed from time to time, or when we originally qualified for our mediation training requirements.
