What prompts a person to want to sit in a room between people who are warring with each other?

If you ask Megan Lewis, director of The Resolution Network and a nationally accredited mediator, you might be surprised by her answer.

“So often when we’re in a dispute with someone else we get caught up in the angst and anger,” she said. 

“It becomes all-consuming and we stop listening. Through the mediation process, I can support people to stop and actually talk with each other,” she added. 

Megan sees a common thread running through mediation sessions.

“I can’t tell you how often one person’s said to the other in a mediation, ‘I didn’t realise that was the case,’ I thought, ‘life’s too short to spend it caught up in conflict with another person.’”

Megan completed her formal training as a mediator after 20 years in communications and established The Resolution Network in 2014 with Rosemary Lembke.

Together, with a team of three other mediators, The Resolution Network provides mediation, coaching, training and change management services from Bulahdelah to Kempsey and out to Gloucester.

As the largest private practice mediation business on the mid north coast, it’s been a gradual process of getting the word out there about mediation and how it can help businesses, families and communities.

“Not long after setting up The Resolution Network, I was invited to give a short talk at Rotary,” explained Megan.

“The person introduced me saying I was there to share with the group some interesting insights into meditation and the art of staying calm.

“For a moment I thought ‘oh no, I’m at the wrong meeting’ and then we all had a bit of a laugh as we realised what a difference a “t” makes.

“I did explain though that through the work we do we definitely try to help people stay calm as they work through their differences.”
