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.
Contrary to popular opinion, keeping people in conflict together usually works better than separating them. Gary Friedman and Katherine Miller discuss how the Understanding Model of mediation with no-caucus works so well to help people go through conflict rather than simply communicate through intermediaries to get them to an agreement.
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.
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.
