Event Type

At 11amCT/12pmET: As mediators, we face several common barriers to settlement in mediation.  Join us for an engaging discussion in how to overcome these obstacles with creativity, patience, and skill. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the various barriers that can arise during mediations and the tools to effectively manage them. The seminar will provide practical strategies for mediators to enhance their ability to guide clients through complex negotiations. By addressing structural, strategic, emotional, cognitive, and cultural barriers, mediators can help parties navigate the uncertainties inherent in settlement discussions and move towards mutually beneficial outcomes.

This event will be followed at 12pmCT/1pmET by our regular TAPM Member Meeting. We hope you can join us for networking and fellowship!

 

This event has been approved for 1 hour of General CLE and 1 hour of General/Family CME.
