Webinar: Conflict Through Race and Culture Lenses
People in conflict often focus on their positions, each person advocating for the solution that they believe is the right and just one. Power and coercion are used to pressure the other person to concede. The discussion revolves around the “issue” at hand, and may ignore the many layers and forces operating below the surface and from the outside. Each person in the conflict is driven by what is important to them on a deeper level and is impacted by familial, cultural, racial, and societal forces, yet these may not be explicitly acknowledged or examined. In this webinar, we focus on race and culture in conflict.

Webinar: Culture and Conflict Engagement

Webinar: Mediator Advice: Is It Ever Appropriate?
In this webinar, Gary Friedman and Catherine Conner will investigate the question of whether mediators should ever give advice and if so, under what conditions. In our model, we emphasize the centrality of the parties’ decision making authority instead of using our position and power as a neutral to control the outcome. Running afoul of this ground rule is a major challenge when we come up against our impulse to tell the parties what we know they ought to do. How can we preserve the value of our knowledge and advice for the parties while honoring our ground rule?

Webinar: Nine Practices to Change Your Awareness and Presence

Webinar: Positive Neutrality
A common question and concern of mediators is how they can maintain their neutrality, particularly when strong emotions are either pulling the mediator towards a party or pushing the mediator away from a party. The tendency of many mediators is to create a distance and boundary between themselves and the parties in order to appear balanced. In this webinar, Gary Friedman and Catherine Conner will discuss positive neutrality, moving towards each party to strengthen the mediator’s connection to and understanding of each party.
