3. Expanding Your Mediation Practice into the Workplace, Menasha, WI, September 10 –14, 2007
Want to grow your mediation practice? This training will teach you what you need to know.
Your skills as a mediator are just what is needed in today’s workplace. Surveys show that the average management team spends up to 60% of its time resolving conflicts relating to work. As many managers do not have the necessary skills or time to address conflict, more and more organizations are recognizing the value of outside intervention. As a professional mediator, you can help organizations reduce the amount of time they spend dealing with employee issues while getting results that enhance productivity and increase employee satisfaction
Tuition: $1,295. Registration form and fee must be received by August 24, 2007. Cancellation Policy: Registrants canceling 10 business days before the training will receive a full refund minus $250.

5. Advanced Mediator Training by The PULSE Institute, Inc. – Level Two
(People Using Language Skills Effectively)
This comprehensive course reflects the most expertly designed learning methodology in the field, built upon proven principles of adult skill acquisition and tested over years of application. Among its unique features are mediation methods uniquely honed for business issues, drawing upon the work of Dr. Cheryl Picard, Dr. Daniel Dana, Dr. Nancy Love, and many more - creating the "best of the best" mediation strategies with unique and deliberate psychological intent, making it easier for new (and skilled) mediation practitioners to learn and model.
This advanced program is aimed at improving the skills of practicing mediators or for those who have completed a Foundational Course in mediation and are interested in learning and developing further. The program builds on basic skills with an emphasis on the art of managing highly charged emotional climates, using Appreciative Inquiry techniques to conduct effective pre-mediation sessions to enhance the success of the mediation process, techniques for dealing with angry participants and when multiple parties are at the table.
Learn the POWER Tool to increase your ability to unearth underlying interests (as presented at the ACR 2006 Conference). The advanced 40-hour experience provides demonstration with experienced mediators, role play, and opportunities to practice using cases from real-life situations.
