We have had a few very successful "six way" meetings (even one seven way with
the financial person). The role of the coach is, as you suggest, one of
support and, when the situation requires it, one of guiding the participants
through difficult emotional moments. The coaches also can offer ideas of
compromise based on their knowledge of each partner, when the attorneys are
unable to
achieve this in the meeting. I guess I see the role of the coach as an active
facilitator of the process.
