As a mediator in court-ordered settlement conferences, Rob's mediation style is facilitative (i.e., not evaluative), as required by law. The job in those cases is to assist the attorneys' negotiations, facilitate productive communications, and to keep the conversation going as long as it is productive, but no longer.
