The Get-What-You-Want Mediation Prep Checklist
For lawyers and barristers who prep the law and want to be fully prepared for everything else.
You prep your legal arguments.
What this checklist gives you is a way to stay focused when the room doesn’t go to plan, so you’re ready for pressure, tactics, posturing, overconfidence or anything else that shows up that can derail a mediation.
I get paid good money to mediate and coach, but I’m going to help you figure it out for FREE
Inside the checklist:
🔹 The focus questions most lawyers skip — that help you prepare for how the day might unfold
(Not about the case — about what could derail it, and how to stay ready.)
🔹 How to prep for behaviour, not just the brief — so you’re not caught off guard when the room shifts
(Tactics, power moves, emotion, this helps you plan for all of it.)
🔹 A checklist that keeps your focus on your own strategy, no matter what the other side tries on
(Because being prepared means more than knowing your legal arguments.)
Use it before your next mediation.
It’ll change how you prepare — and how you handle whatever the day throws at you.
