Bill Marsh, a UK mediator and editor of the Kluwer Mediation Blog, wrote a good post about key characteristics of mediators: Warmth and Competence.

He suggests that these are related to mediators’ self-reflection, authenticity, cultural competence, and timing.

It’s a good, concise post you might share with your students.

Take a look.
