Stir Don't Steer T-Shirt

Mediation requires a tricky balance: you have to keep the conversation moving, without moving it in any particular direction. After all, the parties are the experts on their own lives. So, how do we manage that? We STIR the conversation, putting energy into keeping it moving and keeping the parties engaged. We never STEER, though... the parties determine the direction the process takes. This shirt helps you to keep Process and Content separate, firmly maintaining your role as Mediator. It never hurts to have a good reminder, so buy a few for the practitioners around you, too!
