Program Summary
Mediation Developmental Coaching is delivered as a 5-day training program where the art and skill of communication, needs analysis, and mediation are taught in an experiential, easy to understand combination of lecture, inter-active discussion, small group exercises and simulated mediation sessions. This unique program combines state-of-the-art training in communication dynamics, coaching techniques and mediation processes. This means that participants gain the skills to help conflicting parties define their issues clearly, understand each other’s position and identify pathways to resolution.
Program Content
Our program teaches the structure and process of mediation from introduction and framework, each parties’ view of the situation, identification of issues, individual sessions (if requested or required) brainstorming of solutions, possible resolution options, agreement and follow-up. The process of mediator as a facilitator, allowing those involved in the conflict to shape the solution themselves, is emphasized throughout the training.
What sets our Mediation Developmental Coaching Program apart from other trainings are the powerful coaching models that we incorporate into the mediation process. This results in participants learning insightful and creative coaching and facilitative techniques to, not only mediate conflicts when required, but to manage disagreements and challenges before they escalate to the level of conflict. Think of it as preventative maintenance for conflict management. These unique models are:
The NLP Communications Model
Fundamental communication skills are especially important in conflict management.
This powerful communications model teaches skills such as multi-level listening, checking for accuracy in what is being said, asking open-ended questions, reflecting, and hearing wholly, empathetically and asking about what is ‘not being said’.
The Conflict Management Mode Instrument
This self awareness tool reveals the parties preferred style of handling conflict from one of
6 Conflict Management Modes and highlights the strengths and liabilities of that style. Parties learn how their preferred style of handling conflict interacts with the others’ style. This process goes beyond just focusing on the issues of the mediation and into focusing on the coping styles of the parties in mediation. The result is that it becomes easier to ‘separate the person from the problem’, which can have a massive impact on quickly moving the mediation process forward.
The Precision Language and Questioning Model
Oftentimes miscommunication is a major component in conflict. Unexpressed, not clearly expressed or misunderstood expectations, requests, instructions can lead to misunderstandings about intentions, motivations or behaviors. Knowing how to ask precise questions in a way that gets to the heart of the matter quickly is essential in clearly identifying the real issues in mediation.
Knowing how to ask questions that get to the true meanings behind the words used, that clarify ideas and concepts like “respect”, “co-operation”, “sensitivity”, “oversight”, “flexibility” allows the mediator and the parties to get a clear understanding of exactly what they are wanting to communicate to one another. This creates a space of openness and enhances trust in the process; both essential characteristics of an effective mediation environment.
