Free for members, $20 for non-members. Mediators often meet parties who aren’t quite ready for the table. They may be stuck in their own story, unsure what they want, or too reactive to negotiate productively. This workshop introduces practical tools from conflict coaching that mediators can use one-on-one during intake, pre-mediation conversations, and caucus work. Drawing on the CMC Conflict Coaching Model, a three-stage framework of Perspective, Analysis, and Action, participants will learn how to help a party step back from a conflict, examine the assumptions driving it, and recalibrate their narratives, goals, and behavior based on new information.
