13.45 – Zoom meeting with client- If they want to instruct me I arrange a Zoom meeting with them for about 1.5-2 hours. My aim is to gather as much factual info as I can against the background of the Story, helping them to gather and understand the info.

It can reduce the number of mediation sessions, it can, for example reduce the amount of time it takes to gather the right pension info, saving weeks and helping the mediation process move on and maintain momentum.
