SUMMARY:Self-Reflection Seminar with Gary Friedman and Norman Fischer (FRANCE)
DESCRIPTION:CUC trainers Gary Friedman* and Norman Fischer will be partnering with Interstices Mediation and the Everyday Zen Foundation to offer an intensive program in Talloires\, France in Self-Reflection and its relevance to working as a professional helping people in conflict. \n \nHost Organization: Interstices Médiation \nDates: Tuesday 3 September at 2pm – Friday 6 September at 4 pm \nTheme: Success and Failure \nInstructors: Gary Friedman* and Norman Fischer \nWhere: The Priory of the Tufts European University Center in Talloires on the shores of Lake Annecy\, 45 minutes from Geneva. \nFees: €1\,650 for 24 hours of training over 4 days\, coffee breaks\, and buffet lunches (accommodation not included) \n \nAll conflict professionals are welcome to attend\, including mediators\, lawyers\, therapists and anyone who works with people in conflict. Our working language will be English and fluency is a requisite for getting the most out of the program. \nProgram Overview \nSuccess and Failure: Typically\, mediation and success are equated with whether the parties reached an agreement. This is a terrible trap\, as there is much more that goes into determining mediation success and failure by a number of standards\, even from the parties in mediation. Quality of process\, for example is an important indicator of whether the mediation was a success or not by both the mediator and the parties. And even using the external standard of whether they reached an agreement is tricky. If the parties don’t reach an agreement in the mediation room\, does that mean it was a failure? And if they reached an agreement that fell apart soon after the mediation was over\, does that mean it was a success? And given our view that the parties “own the process” wouldn’t we say that both credit and blame should be theirs\, not ours? \nOur view is that we need to establish our own standards of what constitutes success or failure based on our own deepest sense of what we consider to be most important to us in working with people. Measuring our success or failure is challenging because we need to be observing ourselves from an internal place rather than an external orientation\, that takes these softer\, more elusive kinds of subjective measurements that fuel our work and are sources of satisfaction and disappointment. In this program we will ask participants to bring their own situations that are psychically with you that you’d like to understand better and build on for sustainability of your work. We will be using role play\, meditation\, and other self-reflective tools to more deeply understand ourselves and our relation to our work\, and what it means for us\, the people we want to help and the world. \nWe strongly suggest that all participants contract cancellation insurance and select transportation options and hotel reservations that can be cancelled without consequences in case pandemic related health restrictions or any other crisis make it impossible to travel to Talloires or to participate in the program. If the program does need to be canceled\, any course fees that have been paid will be entirely reimbursed by the organizers. \nThe program’s organizers and instructors shall not be held responsible for any financial consequences that may be incurred due to the program having to be cancelled due to border closings or other pandemic related measures taken by the public authorities in France or in the country of residence of the participant. \nAccommodation:  \nTalloires has several charming small hotels within a few minutes walking distance from the Priory.

SUMMARY:Inside Out: How to Handle Difficult Conversations in Mediation and Beyond (ITALY)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop for mediators and lawyers with Gary Friedman and Mario Dotti\nSeptember 13 – 14 2024\, in Scurzolengo (AT)\n  \nMediators and lawyers find themselves handling difficult conversations on a daily basis. With the parties\, with colleagues\, with the judge\, with clients. \nMediation itself is made up of conflictual conversations\, and therefore often difficult. \nBut everyday life is also full of difficult conversations. In any situation: at work\, in the family\, with people we love\, with people we don’t love but with whom we have to collaborate\, or even with complete strangers. \nIn a conflictual conversation a lot of things happen outside of us\, but also inside us: it is all those thoughts\, judgments\, reactions\, emotions that the conflict or its actors trigger us. What boils in it\, however\, is more complicated to interpret. And if we neglect it\, we end up\, even unconsciously\, creating barriers that prevent us from connecting with each other. \nThe book “Inside Out\,” written by Gary Friedman\, has now become a fundamental text in conflict mediation and management and it teaches us a method to understand what conflict is causing within us and how we can turn the negative impact of conflict within us into a resource to be used outside of us\, to resolve conflict. \nRecognizing and managing the dualism between conflict outside and the conflict within us is a crucial skill for the mediator and the negotiating lawyer\, even more so than individual techniques. The same goes for those who want to learn how to manage their conflicts. \nThe course will be a combination of exercises\, role play and educational moments. Part will be held in Italian and part in English with consecutive translation. \nThis course will get you to experience Inside Out live\, first-person and under the guidance of its own creator. \n  \nWhy be there?\n • To take the opportunity to learn from one of the pioneers of mediation worldwide; \n • To gain skills for dealing with difficult conversations and difficult people\, managing your emotional reactions\, and being able to really connect with each other; \n • To strengthen our self-awareness as mediators and conflict professionals\, both in ‘how to do’ and\, even more so\, in ‘how to be’. \n  \nThe venue of the workshop will be a special place: a villa in the hills of Monferrato from Asti\, in Scurzolengo (AT). Two days immersed in nature\, away from the ‘noise’ of the daily work routine\, to live a truly unique training experience. \nThe course is organized by DK Team in partnership with Gary Friedman. \nLearn more about Gary and Mario: www.understandinginconflict.org and www.mariodotti.com \nFor information and registration write to formazione.dkteam@gmail.com \n  \n*This event is not managed or administered by the Center for Understanding in Conflict. All matters related to cost\, location\, content\, and quality is the responsibility of Gary Friedman and Mario Dotti.
