"The Interest-based Approach to Mediation" by Jackie Ryle (1.5 hrs)
An interactive workshop on the principles of the Interest-Based Approach to mediation, which may be used in legal settings. Participants will gain an understanding of the process, which entails the definition of the issue or issues in a conflictive situation; the presence of underlying interests and the importance of sharing those interests; the creation of options which might meet those interests; selection of appropriate option(s); and reaching consensus for mutually agreeable, win-win solutions.
Participants will have the opportunity to examine the process in the context of a real world case study example, including the variables of what it means to be an effective communicator in a mediation process; power as a factor in mediation; the presence and impact of values and perception; and defining what constitutes success in mediation.
See Jackie's website for info about her impressive credentials.
