Essential Mediation Skills
If you are expected to mediate conflicts on a daily basis but don’t have the job title of ‘mediator’ then this four hour induction into mediation and conflict skills will boost your confidence and success.
This intensive and fun session will give you the core skills and key models for resolving conflict. Scripts to start sessions, a questions list and a prompt sheet for each stage of the process will help strengthen what you do and support parties in taking responsibility for solutions.
The session runs from 10.30 am to 2.30 pm with a working lunch and fits well with family friendly policies.
To help change your culture on conflict and support your people, we can run this course in house for up to 25 delegates offering significant economies – email.
