Who are your trainer(s)
We began our professional journeys mediating disputes in the diverse boroughs of Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn. As mediators, we now help communities and individuals turn conflicts that threaten the fabric of their lives into opportunities for positive change. We teach mediation at law schools and train mediators for dispute resolution centers in NYC. We live to teach others skills that transform conflict into a social good.
In our training, future mediators discover the following:
Transform conflict into an opportunity for profound growth
Implement the core interventions
Empower people’s voices and choices through mediation
Help others find clarity and direction
Navigate power imbalances and bias
Respond to anger and intense emotions
Support and never supplant people’s communication styles
Transform parties interactions from harmful and destructive to positive and constructive
The who, what, when, where & hows of transformative mediation training
Who is mediation training for?
You have a vision for creating internal conflict resolution systems:
We work with HR teams, business executives, church leaders, organization heads, and others who want an internal roster of mediators they can rely on to transform conflicts. By creating a team of mediators that help others (i.e., colleagues, staff, congregants, etc.) turn disruptive differences into constructive turning points through mediation, they plant seeds for cultural change.
You want to become a mediator or explore mediation yourself:
Maybe you are personally drawn to conflict and desire to become a mediator. We help you to turn this pipe dream or intangible interest into a reality. We train business founders, executives, church and community leaders, and passionate individuals in transformative mediation. They gain deep insight into how conflict impacts human beings and proactive ways we can help people in disputes.
What can I expect to learn from transformative mediation training? What’s the experience like?
Purpose: Whether online or in person, you will learn how to mediate a conflict from beginning to end. We delve into the human experience of conflict to understand what people need during disputes and how we can help them as mediators.
Experience: Learning how to mediate is a blast. Interactive small/whole group activities and real-world role-plays foster a hands-on learning experience. We all deal with conflict. We all bring unique experiences and insight to the table. Our mediation training is designed to connect us more fully to one another and ourselves as we learn to support others.
