Being a political mediator is no easy gig.
Just ask seasoned mediator, Mark Gerzon, president of Mediators Foundation and the author of The Reunited States of America: How We Can Bridge the Partisan Divide (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2016). He's advised a number of groups, political actors, and corporations on bipartisanship.
