Increasing Your Emotional Intelligence in Mediation*
Ever wonder if it's possible to "intuit" or "sense" what is needed in a mediation? If addressing the emotional energy that accompanies a conflict is necessary for truly resolving a conflict, how can you build your own emotional intelligence?
Emotional issues lie at the heart of virtually every conflict. The ability to deal with them skillfully can be the key to achieving lasting resolution. Yet, emotions are often overlooked in traditional mediation training. As a result they are often feared, avoided and not well understood by mediators, much less the parties.
In this practical program we will review the basics of emotional intelligence, and focus on skill development so that participants gain greater confidence in working with emotions.
