The mediators are complex personalities. The mediators are part of the world-wide intellectual elite by promoting the purpose, the importance and the usefulness of the collaborative thinking in the pursuit of a vision founded on the quality of life.
The mediators are helping people with cleaning the “dust of ignorance” off the human diamante, rediscovering the nobles within us.
And all of the above is true, because the mediators care for human evolution through peace and better people.
In addition to the necessity of having skills and knowledge, the mediators are human beings that need a wide pool of human attributes available. Different contexts require the conscious use of different personal qualities for best services available in the interest of the users.
We can be so much more effective as mediators if we find the time to self-reflect and think about whom we really are, our strengths and weaknesses, our personalities, our emotions, our values and our personal attributes. A high level of self-awareness and self-control will enable us to act, to learn, to adapt and to improve continuously.

I have just commenced the Certificate 1V in Mediation. I am 42 and about to embark on a new journey. Well I say new when really what I mean is a new career not a new life.
In point of fact I have tended to mediate on a regular basis from when I can remember simply through human relations and human interactions.
I have always believed that I have a complex personality and have been told as such by other like-minded people.
Reading your article was a complete 100% realisation of who I am. The article was SIMPLY AMAZING.
Thank you for taking the time to deliver
your message!
