75 Minutes

Mediators are leaders whose advanced leadership skills are crucial to the successful management of the mediation process. Central to the ability to conduct a productive mediation is an understanding of behavioral dynamics and how it can be applied to improve outcomes.   During this 75-minute recorded webinar, you will gain an advanced understanding of behavior management and how best to channel it to produce a meeting of the minds among the parties and advocates in mediation. Areas covered include:

  • why mediators are leaders not advocates
  • the importance of leadership or “people skills” in mediation
  • how leaders identify and categorize mediation behaviors
  • the use of leadership “probes” to manage mediation
  • behavior models, including “combative,” “passive,” “congenial” and “pragmatic” negotiating behaviors and tactics
  • and much more.

If you are looking to elevate your mediation leadership skills, exercise more effective control over the process, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of party and advocate behavior, be sure to register for this program.
