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.
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
Many people are uncomfortable around emotions. When feelings run high and hot, some professional’s’ gut reaction is to keep the parties apart. This one-hour long webinar will offer tips and tools to help you maneuver through conflict situations when emotions are high.
For decades we have known that interest-based negotiation is more effective and efficient than competitive negotiation. The challenge is in eliciting what is most important to parties and then anchoring the discussion around those interests. In this one hour webinar, Katherine Miller discusses how to use interests to create a ground of understanding that can truly support the end game.
