Thoughts


Water touching rock
,
valleys carved by rivers,
thoughts that flow.
 


Mediation

In the field of mediation Smidt Groundwater offers the following services:

Pure or facilitating mediation: In a dispute outside my expertise I can conduct discussions between parties to reach a desirable solution.

In depth mediation: Upon request I can offer you my knowledge and experience in water and environmental issues for the mediation process.

Change mediation: If you have reached a stagnant conflict situation, I can help you progress by taking other interrelated factors into account to reach a more dynamical process.

Coaching is a personalized form of mediation: a pursuit of the relation between surface interests and deeper interests.

Interim management: For groups seeking challenges in change processes, I can provide a combination of mediation and coaching.

Ebel Smidt is a certified NMI mediator and member of the Foundation for Mediation, Environment and Planning. He is member of the board of this foundation. In my career I have had many practical experiences as a mediator. Through a mediation course at the certified Mediation Training Institute (MTi), I have become familiar with the theories of mediation.
