Interactive Live Zoom Training

The training will take place from 3:00 p.m. to 6:10 p.m. ET on each of four days -- May 24, 25, 26, and 27.  The training will take place interactively on a Zoom platform, and registrants will receive information on the link a few days before the training begins.  Please note that, in order to offer training that is responsive to individual needs, registration is strictly limited.

Mediation's ever-increasing popularity among parties and counsel begs the question: "How can I maximize the opportunities and returns that this unique problem-solving process offers?"

Attorneys in particular can better position themselves to monitor and respond to the negotiating behavior of participants while advancing the needs of their clients if they develop more skillful conflict literacy and mediation savvy.

Acquire an in-depth understanding of the mediator's role, focused mediation preparation, negotiation strategies, barriers to agreement, and what's happening at the mediation (and behind the scene as well) to get the most from the process.

There's a lot to absorb, including:

• Selecting the right mediator,
• Setting the stage for effective mediation: coaching/counseling the client and pre-mediation preparation,
• Opening presentations that command attention and respect,
• Negotiation approaches to acquire (and those to avoid),
• Leveraging BATNAs, LATNAs, ZOPAs, and the language of solution-focused mediated settlement negotiations,
• Discerning how best to collaborate and when to compete, and
• Strategic partnering with the mediator.

Join us to discover more about what goes on in the mediation.
