The Mediation process is very simple. It involves: (1) Concerns; (2) Issues; (3) Exploration; and (4) Negotiation. This process is based on the Facilitative Model of Mediation. Essentially it involves communicating first and negotiating secondly. Sounds simple enough but more and more what I’m finding is that people are very impatient with this process and want to find a solution or to finish the mediation far too early in the process.

Our unquenchable thurst to find a solution in life is one of the main reasons why people find themselves in conflict in the the first place. As the old saying goes…women want to discuss the problem and men want to discuss the solution. In a way we all need to embrace our feminine instincts. I honestly believe that it is a good way to live your life as well. To look at the problem and to avoid the tendency to find solutions too quickly. Probably not good news for the life coaching industry.

The exploration process really involves understanding where both you and the other person is coming from. Not only intellectually but also emotionally. This process can take hours and sometimes days to go through. This process will be slightly different in a workplace mediation context versus family mediation (more emotional) context but the general principles are the same. Once everyone has said their piece then and only then can you move onto the negotiation stage (which should take no more than 2 hours to complete).

Sometimes parties choose to pull out of the process during the exploration stage. They often incorrectly assume that the process is not working due to a perceived exacerbation of conflict. I once had a workplace mediation that was only booked for 4 hours on a friday afternoon. At the end of the 4 hours we were only part way through the process and both parties left the mediation believing that an agreement was not going to get reached and that the mediation was a waste of time.

The reason for this is that they don’t fully understand the process and to a certain extent they were right. During the exploration phase, at times it feels that the conflict is enhanced and not getting better. Successful mediations are not always on track 100% of the time. This is why it is very important to stay the course so to speak.

Sometimes following the process will mean retreating back to the exploration phase of the process while negotiating if something significant comes out. A successful negotiation can only occur once the parties have successfully explored all the different issues first. It is a complete waste of time trying to finish a mediation too quickly for the sake of having a nice and neat agreement.

A major disagreement once successfully explored and negotiated on is an extremely satisfying process. On the whole most people don’t know what this process actually looks like. This is why attending a mediation session can be an extremely valuable learning experience and can inform future disagreements.

When it comes to choosing a licenced electrician on the Gold Coast, there are few points that you really need to take into consideration. Firstly does the electrician have all of the appropriate qualifications and licences associated with the tasks that you need them to carry out.

Secondly, does the electrician have the years of experience required to handle every challenge that the task may require. Many tradesmen these days can have a license in an associated trade, but may lack the experience is you do the tasks that there employer asked them to carry out during their traineeship.

That is why it is always important to check the credentials of your tradesmen and make sure that they have the experience and all of the appropriate licences to carry out the tasks at hand. Any decent electrical contractor will confidently hand over their resume and make all of the qualifications easy to access for your perusal.

Electrical wiring can be a very dangerous thing. If not carried out efficiently by a qualified electrical contractor many things can go wrong including household fires and in the worst-case scenario electric shock.

A shock from faulty wiring can cause severe injury including burns and in some cases may cause death. This is why it is always crucial to check the credentials of any electrical contractor that is scheduled to carry out work on your household or business.

Every year we hear of the terrible tragedies caused through faulty wiring resulting in the burning down of residential homes. By taking a few simple measures before hiring an electrical contractor you can be rest assured that they have all the qualifications skill and expertise to carry out the work required on your own.

If you need a qualified electrician in Brisbane then contact us and we will gladly hand over our credentials. Visit Dexco Industries for more details!

If at any time you are uncertain about the qualifications of tradesmen that you have hired always make sure to ask in for references from previous customers and or a complete list of his qualifications and competencies.

Another problem associated with electrical contractors is they fail to show up when they say that they are going to. This causes frustration for the customer and in some cases can actually lead to a general disdain towards that particular tradesperson.

There are always the extra costs to a wedding that somehow take you unaware, such as the cost of seat covers, pillows for the rings if you have ring bearers (Perhaps your best man is a great guy, but you just can’t trust him with something small and precious) and a thousand other things that apparently are a ‘must’ for the modern wedding.

But what if you really wanted to make your wedding as cheap as possible. Well, here is a suggestion. Go Naked.

Want to save money? Go Nude!

Yes, that’s right, nude. Get your gear off and celebrate your wedding ‘au naturel!’ You will save on all sorts of costs, no need for something old, some thing new, something borrowed or even blue. No expensive wedding gowns, no brides maids complaining that fuschia doesn’t suit their complexion. No need to worry if your beau to be can tie a tie. So many worries just gone! There may be other things to be concerned over that previously may not have worried you, such as seeing your mother in law as you hoped you never would. Also concerns about that leery old uncle may scale up to code red and perhaps your intended may require a little hedge trimming so that his fella is displayed to best effect.

You may be thinking, do people really do that? Yes, yes they do. All over the world folk are stripping off instead of dressing up to celebrate their special day. In fact more and more people are getting their gear off to celebrate their nuptials. The first recognised nude wedding occurred in The Elysian Fields in California (Where else) in 1942. Since then hundreds of couples all over the world have embraced their body image and saved a penny or three by dispensing with extraneous items such as pants or shirts, or dresses. Many brides choose to keep a couple of items; A veil maybe, or even a garter or perhaps a string of pearls, whilst the groom may keep a top hat handy in case something pops up unexpectedly! The largest Nude Wedding on record was conducted at the Hedonism resort located in Jamaica. Reports vary as to how many naked couples tied the knot, but certainly more than twenty five at one time and any where up to sixty couples at this regular celebration held every year on valentines day.

Here in Australia couples are also getting married in the buff mostly because they are at heart naturists and enjoy getting out and about with it all hanging out, but there are others such as this couple who won a competition on a Brisbane radio station and won an all expenses paid wedding if they went in the nude. Having a nude wedding will save you lots of money not only on clothes, but if you insist that all the guests are naked as well you will be sure to save a small fortune as very few (except perhaps the leery old uncle) will even turn up!

Just like most professionals and tradesmen, these days, plumbers require social skills and the ability to deal with their customers directly.

Many tradesmen in the plumbing business these days have a reputation for not showing up on time, over quoting, not cleaning up after themselves and for jobs taking a lot longer than they originally stated that they would.

Concrete Creations

Concrete is a material that has allowed for constructions that boggle the mind and seem to defy the very nature of gravity itself. The very properties of moulding and malleability that make concrete the perfect medium for building houses, pavements and retaining walls also make it the paramount ingredient in making some of the most mindboggling sculptures the world has seen.

O Cristo Redentor.

Christo Redentor

Rio: if you can tear your eyes away from the balmy beaches and bronzed bodies for a moment you may cast your eye upon the cloud wreathed peak of Corcovado (The Hunchback) mountain. Reigning above the clouds, above the mountain and above all of Rio is the largest concrete Art Deco statue in the world: Christ The Redeemer.

Towering an impressive 39.6 metres from the base of the plinth to the top of His holy head Christ the Redeemer has graced the city of Rio since construction finished in 1931. Erecting the statue took six years and involved a two-part process of constructing the core from reinforced concrete and moving to cladding the statue with carved soap stone. The statue itself is 30 metres high and the plinth is 9.5 metres giving a total of 39.5 metres in height. The entire edifice weighs 635 tonnes and is the fifth largest statue of Christ in the world.

Some of you may know that this has been listed as one of the modern wonders of the world. This in essence was a popularity contest run by a Swiss company. The Brazilian government made voting for this selection free and subsidised the millions of Reals spent by passionate Brazilians intent on making Cristo Redentor world famous.

Is that Mother calling?

The motherland calls!

Packing up our virtual bags we shall depart the sunny shores of Brazil and find ourselves in chilly Volgograd, Russia. This historic site was at the very centre of the battle of Stalingrad, possibly the most horrific single battle in the history of mankind. Nearly six months of fighting between the Germans and Russians destroyed this industrial centre and killed at least 1.3 million people. In fact the city reverts to its previous name for six days every year to commemorate the pyrrhic victory in that horrendous battle. The battle was pivotal for the Russian forces and the bravery of the men who held out against overwhelming odds is in the realm of legend.

To commemorate this extraordinary sacrifice the largest statue in the world (at that time) was commissioned and erected from prestressed concrete and steel cable. This enormous effigy towers a total of 87 metres and is formed from 7,900 tonnes of concrete. The body of the statue is 52 metres tall whilst the sword arm extends a further 33 metres into the air. An extraordinary feat of construction was to specifically prestress the concrete to cast the sword and outstretched arm. This construction would have been impossible to complete in any other medium than concrete. The ability pre-mould concrete and embed steel supports make concrete the most flexible of construction materials.
