Conference Presentations
The Psychology of Negotiation with Professor Jennifer K. Robbennolt - 1.5 hr MCLE approved
The psychology of judgment, decision making, and communication can complicate negotiation. This session discusses the psychology of predictions, anchoring, and evaluating options, and the implications for mediation. The psychology of mediation via remote platforms will also be discussed.
The Psychology of Ethical Decision Making with Professor Jennifer K. Robbennolt - 1.0 hr MCLE with ethics approved
Ethical lapses can occur more easily and less intentionally than we might think. The psychology involved is useful in thinking about a mediator’s own ethical obligations as well as how it can influence the decisions and behavior of the advocates and parties with whom they work.
Wokshop on Developing Your Mediation Pitch with Dr. Zach Schaefer
How can you pitch your mediation business in a way that resonates with prospective consumers of mediation? How can you effectively promote yourself and your mediation practice in the marketplace? Dr. Schaefer’s workshop will assist you to develop an impactful marketing message. You can’t make an impact in the mediation world if you aren’t getting opportunities to mediate.
