The "How Does a Mediator Work?" Edition

On the last episode for this season of Working, WNYC’s Arun Venugopal talks to Elizabeth Clemants, a New York City mediator and shaman. Elizabeth talks about the psychology of conflict resolution, how she integrates her work as a shaman with mediation, and the role empathy plays in her work. Plus, Elizabeth talks about the difficulties associated with coming to a solution in the “Me” generation. In a Slate Plus extra, Elizabeth talks about why she doesn’t use social media, watch the news, or Google her clients.
