Event Information
In mediation, some parties bring more than just their conflicts to the table—they bring deep-seated interests, power dynamics, and resistance to dialogue. Successfully engaging with these complex actors requires a nuanced approach, adaptability, and a deep understanding of human behavior.
This exclusive webinar for alumni explores effective mediation techniques for working with parties who may be perceived as uncooperative, highly strategic, or deeply entrenched in their positions.
Event Details
We will discuss:
- How to recognize and adapt to different negotiation styles
- Techniques for building trust and opening dialogue in challenging settings
- Strategies for managing power imbalances and hidden agendas
- Real-world case studies of mediating complex actors in high-stakes situations
Designed for experienced mediators looking to refine their skills, this session provides valuable insights from seasoned practitioners who have worked in complex mediation environments.
