This presentation will examine various mediation settings where negotiation dynamics are so difficult as to require advanced mediation skills. A study of areas such as gender dynamics, power imbalance, bullying, and intimidation by a party will shed light on perceptions that impact the mediation session. Participants will consider attitudes and/or structures that may cause damage and prevent resolutions. Dr. Voyles will discuss negotiation tones, styles, and techniques for managing these situations.
Dr. Richard Voyles, President and co-owner of Conflict Resolution Academy, LLC
