This two-day workshop is for people who work with others in conflict. Conflict coaching is one-on-one process during which a trained conflict coach works with a person in conflict using conflict resolution skills and strategies to support the coachee’s ability to engage in, manage, or productively resolve the conflict. Conflict coaching can be used as a stand-alone process, or as a step before or during the life of a mediation. A conflict coach is a confidential listener who helps the coachee see the conflict from all perspectives, consider options, and come up with a plan of action. In conflict coaching, the coachee, not the conflict coach, is responsible for the outcome. Conflict coaching can be useful for conflicts in the workplace, divorce and post-decree situations as well as community disputes.
The following topics will be covered:
• Understanding what conflict coaching is and is not,
• Understanding conflict- sources-types-physiology,
• Gaining new skills to help others transform conflict,
• Understanding the stages of conflict coaching,
• Learning how to conduct each stage of conflict coaching,
• Understanding and appreciating the role of emotion,
• Gaining hands on skills in teaching others about “I” messages, conflict mapping, role playing, listening, perspective swapping and other skills,
• Practicing conflict coaching through role plays and exercises.

“My preferred pronouns are…” How many of us spend time during the day thinking about the pronouns we use for ourselves? Or, stop to think about whether we’re making a gender or sexuality assumption for someone else? For folks in the LGBTQ+ Community, the lack of awareness and assumptions that happen in everyday language can be painful and excluding. Join us in this webinar to explore how to create inclusivity in our mediation rooms for LGBTQ+ parties.
