The 6 underlying concepts of the Understanding-Based model can often be used to guide the mediator through difficult moments as well as help structure the conflict resolution process to minimize the challenging moments. In this webinar, Catherine Conner and Katherine Miller will describe the 6 underlying concepts, what they mean and most importantly how to use them.
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.
In this encore presentation of the August 23, 2016 webinar on Why Bringing People Together in Conflict Works, Gary Friedman and Katherine Miller talk about why 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.
