Mediators and other conflict resolution professionals often fear impasse. Impasse is just a word that means stuck. It’s no surprise that people who are in conflict reach places that are challenging and look to professionals for help. In this one hour webinar, Katherine Miller talks about some things to do to avoid getting so stuck it feels unmovable and what to do if you get there.
The end game of any mediation is challenging. The parties’ original positions often come roaring back with a vengeance. Brainstorming options can work wonders to broaden the perspective of parties and help them see new synergistic possibilities for resolution. In this one hour webinar, Katherine Miller discusses techniques for brainstorming and then evaluating options that keep parties working together toward a resolution that truly works for all.
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.
Parties in a conflict are often focused on their positions – what they think should be the solution. Our hope is that by understanding what is beneath their positions, we will be able to help them reach an agreement. In this webinar, Katherine Miller and Gary Friedman will discuss how to work with parties to discover and surface what is important to each of them – why they are taking their positions.
