• Idealistic - you can depend on me to be optimistic. I believe most people are inherently good. They may be simply misunderstood, and that idea drives an incredibly resilient attitude in the face of hardship.

• Diplomatic - Mediators have limited interest in having power over others. Thus, I instead encourage working hard to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard.

• Flexible - For me, It is natural to be flexible and open-minded. It feels more reasonable to let go of a fixed path and instead be ready to adapt and overcome any possible obstacles.

• Creative - Mediators combine a visionary nature with open-mindedness to allow us to see things from unconventional perspectives. It’s no wonder that many Mediators are celebrated, poets and authors.

• Passionate - When something captures my imagination or beliefs, I go all in. I can dedicate all my time, energy, thoughts, and emotions to a project. My modesty can keep me from podiums, yet I am the first to lend a helping hand where it is needed.

• Dedicated - Others may give up when the going gets tough. Mediators, (especially Assertive ones, like myself) have the benefit of far-reaching vision to help them endure. Knowing what we are doing is meaningful, furnishes a sense of purpose and even courage when it comes to accomplishing a challenge. Mediators can be hard-working to a fault.
