Synopsis:
Conflict is a fundamental aspect of life. We can choose to deepen conflict by hardening into it, or we may see conflict as an opportunity to creatively work through often difficult disputes to reach workable solutions and even find mutual understanding. This seminar will introduce practical mediation techniques that may be used to defuse emotional reactivity and closed-mindedness and to create a space for dialogue and resolution. Participants will not only receive valuable conceptual tools but will, through hands-on exercises, have an opportunity to put theory into practice. More specifically, this course will provide participants with a hands-on opportunity to learn how to directly foster a space for dialogue and resolution by:
- Empowering people to directly resolve problems
- Defusing anger and defensiveness
- Bringing to awareness unconscious assumptions and bias
- Going beneath the surface of positional arguments
- Validating the values each person in conflict holds
- Bringing these values into dialogue
- Finding common ground through creative problem solving
Participants will learn proven mediation techniques that support these objectives, applying the science on emotional reactivity through the following skills:
- Active listening
- Restating what the speaker has expressed
- Reframing what is being expressed by the speaker in terms of underlying needs/values/goals
- Open and directed questioning
- Summarizing
- Nonviolent communication
- Creative problem solving
Participants will have the opportunity to explore the above through guided role play exercises. Upon successful completion of this course, attendees will learn and practice mediation skills that:
- Empower people to resolve their own problems
- Defuse anger and defensiveness
- Bring to awareness unconscious assumptions and bias
- Go beneath the surface of positional arguments to validate the values each person in conflict holds
- Bring these values into dialogue, fostering deeper, open communication
- Dramatically increase the probability of finding common ground through value-based creative problem solving
