His portfolio of high-profile mediations includes working with the U.S. soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Germany; a firefighters’ labor dispute; a wrongful death
suit; several trade agreements between Asian countries; the kidnapping of a child
to Japan during a custody battle and the murder of a celebrity.
Pete’s corporate mediation focuses primarily on workplace issues, bullying, wrongful dismissal, contracts and the alleged failures of parties to provide goods or services at the agreed price, in the agreed time and of the agreed quality. His conflict communication training programs have been well received by large corporations, non-profit organizations, various First Nations bands and governments.
He is also one of the proponents and pioneers of “Dispute Resolution Panels”.
These panels are comprised of lawyers, mediators and arbitrators who can make
awards or render findings in any corporate or personal conflict at a fraction of the cost of conventional options.
Pete is the President of the Alberta Arbitration and Mediation Society (AAMS) and
founder of “The Negotiators”, with offices in Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Las Vegas,
Calgary and Edmonton. The firm was once named one of the “Top 10 Small
Businesses of the Year” by the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
Public-private partnerships are essential for economic progress—but they don’t come without conflict. Differences in priorities, regulatory expectations, and communication styles can stall negotiations or escalate into disputes. This webinar offers a compact yet powerful look at how structured negotiation and mediation practices can bridge the cultural and operational gap between governmental bodies and private enterprises.
We’ll explore:
The typical sources of conflict in government-private sector collaboration
How interest-based negotiation fosters understanding and progress
When and how mediation can be used to prevent legal disputes and build trust
This session is ideal for professionals in procurement, infrastructure, policy, compliance, legal affairs, and anyone involved in cross-sector collaboration.
This webinar teaches participants to, not only better observe others, but to adjust their negotiation strategy instantaneously and instinctively with hardly a thought. Pete challenges, and actually contradicts the traditional beliefs and practices of strategic listening and responding.
Participants will learn “triune thinking” processes, taking any hostile or difficult situation and placing it within their own sphere of comfort. They will learn techniques to counter direct attacks and accusations, how to successfully respond to “dirty negotiating tactics” most used by aggressive parties, and to create their own mental emergency travel kits for any occasion.
