Mediation is a change in tempo and mindset: the typical courtroom practice and procedure rules don’t strictly apply. There is choice and there are more options. People can be strategic and creative; they can concentrate on interests and solutions a court cannot. However, the more combative you are, the less comfortable you will be in Mediation. It’s challenging to shift from litigation to problem-solving mode and what Mediation Mastery calls, the Peacemaker’s Mindset.
I invite you to set aside any judgments about conflict resolution. The practice of law is a noble profession. It calls us to be Peacemakers: to help people heal broken relationships and business dealings with others in their families, neighborhoods, organizations, businesses, and communities.
Accelerating Your Negotiation Success
We all define success differently. Mediation Mastery utilizes an integrative approach. This strategy relies on interest-based negotiations, which time and again, lead to superior results and satisfaction in conflict resolution.
One central purpose of negotiation is to expand the potential value to the parties. This is done first by identifying interests to expand the "pie" of possibilities. Then, with cooperation and collaboration, parties can trade off those interests towards reaching agreement in which all parties “win” by satisfying their own interests.
Constance Miller helps you to accelerate and maximize your success with:
- Problem Solving
- Surefire Strategies to keep the momentum going and avoid imoasse
- “People First” Principles of Conflict Resolution
- Identifying (and implementing) Superior Solutions
