This workshop introduces mediators to an empathy based framework as a tool to help mediators meet the needs of the mediating parties and the mediating parties’ lawyers, if applicable. The seminar focuses on identifying empathy factors to gain a good understanding of the parties and their underlying interests, and helping them develop reciprocal and joint value propositions during the mediation, which can be instrumental in helping the parties bridge the gap, and, move constructively to reach an agreement.

How can mediators encourage self determination, foster meaningful communication, and facilitate exploration of common ground when one or more party is represented by a lawyer who views mediation as (un)necessary evil or a battle to be won? This workshop explores the ways in which attorneys can hinder progress at mediation and offers helpful approaches for transforming lawyers into allies of the mediation process, itself. This presentation will incorporate lecture, visual aids, and audience participation, all geared towards forging some new and useful tools for our mediator toolbelts.
