What drives you to promote mediation?
I was an expert in labour law in my previous life in private practice. At the beginning, I was amazed to see that people don’t know how to negotiate, not only to solve their problems, but in their life. We have to negotiate all the time, in our family, in our community. We have to undertake what I call a productive dialogue to solve problems and this is something that we should learn how to do. We cannot afford to have more war. I think we have know how to speak in an efficient way and how to undertake difficult conversations, because there are so many difficult conversations that we all avoid. “Oh it is going to be too much trouble.” No, no, no, no. Don’t avoid it, just learn how to express yourself in a productive way.”
