Things My Mediation Trainer(s) Never Taught Me:
Perspectives from Experienced Trainers on the Practical Problems
of Real Mediation Practice
Each panelist represents a different philosophical and stylistic approach to mediation training in a methodology now being used in Maryland mediation practice. This diverse dynamic allows the panel to approach the subject from each of these valuable perspectives and offer their invaluable insights to questions posed by attendees practicing one or more of these styles or a hybrid of these styles.
The panel discussion will begin with each panelist offering a brief introduction to their style of mediation practice and training. Each panelist will then offer a comment as to the current state of that training approach in Maryland. Next, each panelist will discuss the several state-of-the-art techniques used in their trainings. Finally, each trainer will offer brief comments relating to advanced training and mediator certification.
The panel will then turn to attendee submitted questions and practical scenarios. Attendees are invited to submit their questions and practical scenarios prior to this event via e-mail to:
Davetheamerican@aol.com
The panel will then turn to attendee e-mail submitted questions and practical scenarios. The panelists will respond by offering best practice perspectives relating to those problems arising in practice unanticipated by mediation training. Please be sure to submit your questions and scenarios well before this event, thus giving time to panelists wanting to consider a best response. Your questions may relate to ethics & compliance, skills & techniques, administration & management. Scenarios should be practical and raise important questions for the panel to address. During the discussion questions are welcome introducing new problems or elaborating on the problems being discussed.
Finally, each panelist will be given an opportunity to offer a brief closing opinion as to where training development is heading in their style of practice. Or, perhaps where they think it should be heading?
