The Understanding based model is known as a “non-caucus” model and yet we often deal with both explicit and implicit requests for private meetings. In this webinar, we will discuss how can we best deal with these requests and use them to promote understanding.

Now that you have taken some of our trainings, watched webinars, and/or read our books, you may be inspired and hoping to incorporate our model into your work. In this one hour live webinar, Catherine Conner will talk about how to use the Understanding Based model in different ways when working with people in conflict and how to build a professional practice that reflects your aspirations.
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.
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.
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.
