As conflict resolution professionals, we are often plagued with judgments that impede us in our goal to help the parties reach an agreement based on their own criteria. In this webinar, Gary Friedman and Catherine Conner give guidance to recognizing our judgments and turning them into curiosity so that instead of obstructing, they might actually help advance the discussion.
Katherine Miller and Gary Friedman discuss working with ground rules during the contracting phase of mediation. Whether or not lawyers are in the room or not, ground rules help the parties and the mediator understand how we are working together. We discuss how to establish ground rules with parties alone and with lawyers in the room and what to do when they are inevitable broken
All of us develop and evolve from and by cultural forces in our lives – our family of origin, religion, race, ethnicity, community/country/region, and other organizations or groups in which we are involved. Each of the parties and the conflict professionals bring their unique bag of cultures into room. As conflict professionals, how can we be aware of and honor these cultural forces, especially when they may be exacerbating the conflict? Natalia Lopez-Whitaker, Lacey Wilson and Catherine Conner will discuss the impact of culture on conflict engagement.
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.
