Both sides of a story deserve an honest middle. Not to be proven right, but to understand each other again. That is why each of you answers the same focused questionnaire separately.
Middlepoint grew out of a simple observation: most conflicts persist because nobody finds the time to truly listen to the other side, not because people do not care about each other. We create that calm before the conversation itself begins.
Each of you gets questions about your own experience. Your answers are safe, nobody else reads what you fill in.
No blank page. For each type of situation, focused questions that hit exactly what it is about.
Middlepoint combines both answers into a clear picture of how you each see the other's position, and where you have common ground.
No direct contact while you answer, so you feel free to tell your side without having to defend yourself right away.
Every conversation includes one follow-up document. Respond to the tips and questions, let us know what is already going better, and add what is still going on.
Give each other time to see what is going on for the other, in complete calm. Middlepoint turns that into a clear, neutral overview that you use together as a starting point.
The two complement each other. Middlepoint is available 24/7 and quickly gives a reflection on your answers. Some situations are better handled by a therapist.
Most conflicts do not come from ill will. Everyone experiences the world in their own way. Our ego often makes it hard to open up to what is going on for the other person. A solution is often closer than you would think.
"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."Stephen R. Covey
