February 20 Workshop
5 Ways to Improve Your
Mediation Performance
In this intensive workshop, Giorgio Piccagli identifies five ways to avoid failure and improve your mediation and negotiation performance.
Drawing on thirty years of published findings on team performance; research on complex problem solving; and personal observation of more than 3,000 negotiations, mediations, and consensus processes, Giorgio will lead a lively and engaging workshop to help you get better results in the mediation room.
This workshop is useful for beginners and established mediators alike. It will help you review the challenges you have experienced as a mediator, negotiator or trainer, and give you tools to overcome them.
Participants will:
- Learn the results of key research findings
- Experience the power of several methods to improve performance
- Discuss ways to put these methods immediately to use
