Greetings, fellow collaborators,
I am about to commence a collaborative divorce case in which both parties
have coaches, whom they want to attend the collaborative 4-way
meetings. Since I've never had coaches attend before, I am wondering how
to handle this. Some specific questions are:
1. Do we have the coaches sign the participation agreement, too?
2. Do the coaches participate in all the discussions as full parties --
what's their role in the discussion?
3. Are there any suggestions any of you more experienced folks have to
optimize the experience for our clients and have the coaches make the best
contribution to the process? FYI, one coach is a minister and the other is
a therapist.
Thanks in advance for any wisdom you have to offer from your
experiences. You can email me privately if you prefer to have this
discussion off-list.
