Apollo Group, LLC Adds Fresh Perspective to the Mediation Process

Tampa, FL, November 18, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Apollo Group, LLC Adds Mediation Locations Throughout Florida.

Facilitating a discussion with two sides that are on opposite ends of the spectrum is no easy task. With the advent of high profile mediations, such as the recent NBA and NFL disputes, mediation has now become a mainstream topic of discussion. Attorneys, insurance companies, and individuals are turning to mediation, more than ever, as opposed to the litigation process, which can be a nightmare. But parties need some assurance that the mediation process will be successful, and they need to know that there are still ethical and available mediators in their local area.

Apollo Group, LLC has added locations to expand its reach in the world of mediating claims and disputes throughout Florida. Chief Mediator, Faith Knight explains, “Apollo Group is extremely happy to announce that we will be able to service more clients, and add a fresh perspective to some uncomfortable topics.”

Apollo offers some Keys to a successful mediation:
Mediators should ethically handle the mediation process. Mediators are thought that they should be unbiased and impartial from day one, but the mediation process itself is about understanding the perspective of the other side, and meeting somewhere in between, where everyone is mutually satisfied. A good mediator should know how to maintain the balance. A good mediator should have respect for all parties involved. If a mediator is arrogant, or thinks he or she knows it all, it deters one or both parties from reaching a mutual agreement. Mediator’s should be flexible on mediation type. A skilled mediator should be comfortable conducting a facilitative or an evaluative mediation. If both parties agree, doing an evaluative mediation based on the input of both parties may help your client weigh the cost and benefits of settling at mediation.
