This is not meant to be a critical statement, I believe this pattern is a byproduct of dealing with a variety of unnatural settings in one’s professional life.

After all, in addition to using effective communication skills to comprehend a disagreement and establish rapport with the parties, mediators also need to support the parties in having a productive discussion when their own ineffective communication skills may be the root of the conflict.
