In This Episode
In this episode of the Pro Se Divorce Podcast, Tom Davis dives into the crucial difference between internal and external goals in mediation. Understanding these distinctions is key to achieving success. Tom explains how external goals, often tied to tangible assets like the marital home or spousal maintenance, can create win/lose scenarios that increase conflict and limit flexibility. He introduces the “Outside In Method” to help listeners identify and reevaluate potentially problematic external goals.
Tom then shifts focus to internal goals, which are rooted in values and long-term well-being. Using the “Outside In Method”, he illustrates how reframing goals can open up more pathways to successful outcomes. By carefully analyzing and prioritizing your goals before mediation, you can better position yourself for a resolution that meets your needs and reduces conflict.
Tom also provides practical tools, including a free Outside In Method Mediation Goals Evaluation and Reframing Worksheet, to help listeners assess and refine their goals ahead of mediation. Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming mediation or simply want to understand how to better approach conflict resolution, this episode offers valuable insights to guide you toward more positive and lasting outcomes.
